Ancient Landscapes of Zoara I
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-62280-0 (ISBN)
Biblical Zoara is located in the Ghor as-Safi, precisely at the lowest place on earth. Its environmental and cultural history is therefore unique. During two decades, an archaeological project was conducted which discovered many significant finds of human occupations spanning some 12,000 years. These have been meticulously studied and the results are now presented here in Volume I. Volume II will follow and will complete and complement Volume I.
Konstantinos D. Politis is an archaeologist educated in Greece, the United States, Britain and Belgium. He is well-versed on the Near East and the Eastern Mediterranean region from prehistory through to the medieval periods and focuses on Late Antiquity.
