This era witnessed the emergence of new political structures, economic systems and cultural expressions that have had a lasting impact on subsequent civilizations. With the focus on Northern Jordan, a region much less studied than the surrounding areas of the Levant, the case studies of Tall Ya'moun and Tall al-Assara present the most recent archaeological excavations and surveys from fortified settlement sites and their surroundings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Individual chapters discuss topics such as observations on architecture, the results of different types of scientific analyses, and detailed analyses of specific artefacts such as pottery, stone vessels and bones. The contributors employ cutting-edge digital and analytical methodologies, such as soil geochemistry, archaeobotany, zooarchaeology, network analysis, GIS and 3D technologies. As a result, this book presents an important step forward in outlining the role of Northern Jordan in the political and cultural map of the Iron Age Levant, and it also sheds light on the origins of many modern cultural and religious practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
