Reviews

'These two volumes are the latest in a series of publications of surveys in southern Jordan led by Burton MacDonald, who deserves credit for documenting a great many archaeological sites in under-investigated regions and for bringing them to publication in a timely manner. He provides much data for future analysis, as well as guidance for heritage management.' (E.B. Banning, Antiquity, December 2013)
