About this book

Der Siedlungshügel Tall Zirā’a, im Wādī al-‘Arab in Jordanien gelegen, war mindestens 5000 Jahre lang ohne Unterbrechung besiedelt und gewährt einzigartige Einblicke in die Lebenswelt der Menschen jener Region. Eine artesische Quelle in seiner Mitte hat über Jahrtausende optimale Siedlungsbedingungen geschaffen, weshalb der Ort von besonderem archäologischem Interesse ist: Er bietet die seltene Möglichkeit, eine vergleichende Stratigraphie Nordjordaniens von der Frühbronzezeit bis zur Islamischen Zeit zu erstellen und damit kulturelle Entwicklungen im städtischen Leben, im Handwerk und in der Religionsgeschichte über lange Zeiträume hinweg nachzuverfolgen. Zudem können reichlich vorhandene Überreste aus biblischer Zeit in einem weitgefassten kulturellen und historischen Kontext untersucht werden. Im Rahmen des »Gadara Region Project« haben Archäologen zehn Jahre lang am Tall Zirā’a gegraben. Die Ergebnisse der Grabungssessionen werden in geplanten neun Bänden in englischer Sprache präsentiert. Hier liegt der bisher sechste Teil der Reihe vor.
