Ebook: Bab Edh Dhra: Excavations at the Town Site (1975-1981): Part 1: Text

This 624-page book contains 162 photographs and numerous line drawings contributing significant knowledge of the history and culture of the Dead Sea plain dwellers of the Early Bronze Age. Part I presents the background to the discovery of Bab edh-Dhra, Parts II-IV examine the tombs of Early Bronze I-IV, and Part V details the human skeletal remains and perishable cultural materials from the Early Bronze Age. Representative samples of the pottery discovered are presented in the text of the book, and the remainder of the ceramic finds are published in microfiche format.
