  • Revisiting Tell Deir 'Alla: a Reinterpretation of the Early Iron
    Revisiting Tell Deir ‘Alla: A reinterpretation of the Early Iron Age deposits Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Master in Philosophy by Diederik Johannes Herrius Halbertsma 31 May 2019 School of Histories, Languages and Cultures Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology 2 Acknowledgements Working with an old excavation archive is a daring and complicated endeavour, but can yield intriguing results. Few know this better than Dr Margreet Steiner. While contemplating Iron Age archaeology in a small café in Leiden, she notified me of the potential of the Tell Deir ‘Alla archive, and ignited in me the flame of curiosity. This fascinating archaeological site, which created such a legacy for archaeologists both in- and outside of the Netherlands, deserves to have its full potential explored. It is how I got in touch with Dr Gerrit van der Kooij, whose passion for, and knowledge of, the archaeology of the Southern Levant is hard not to be inspired by. Through both Margreet and Gerrit I got to know about Henk Franken and his legacy. My thanks go first and foremost to these three remarkable scholars, who have elevated the field through inspiration, criticism, and continuous effort. As anyone who’s ever started studying mudbrick archaeology will know, the first confrontation with a complex cross-section can be an overwhelming experience. One can easily “not see the layers for the lines”. I was fortunate enough to be taught the principles of mudbrick archaeology at the Tell Damiyah Project, co-directed by Dr Lucas Petit and Prof Zeidan Kafafi.

  • Resettlement of the Bdul and Its Effect on Preservation Initiatives at Petra, Jordan
    Resettlement of the Bdul and its effect on Preservation Initiatives at Petra, Jordan A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Nicholas James Lashway January 2015 © 2015 Nicholas James Lashway ABSTRACT This study examines the resettlement of the Bdul tribe at Jordan’s archaeological site of Petra from 1985 through 1987 and considers whether relocation achieves the type of results that heritage professionals and organizations desire. The United States National Park Service Master Plan for the Protection & Use of Petra National Park of 1968 advocated for the Bdul to be relocated for the sake of preservation. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the World Bank, echoed the USNPS’s initial request for relocating the Bdul, and Jordanian governmental organizations carried out the resettlement in 1985, when Petra became a World Heritage Site, as opposed to Jerash Archaeological Park, where the Department of Antiquities did not even attempt relocation. The actual results of the Bdul tribe’s relocation to Um Seyhun, a buffer zone of the park, arguably did not change the preservation status of Petra, as tourism, promoted by heritage professionals, is a major threat to the site. The research conducted for this study consisted of twenty-two interviews in Amman and Wadi Musa, Jordan with current and former members of the Jordanian Department of Antiquities and the Ministry of Tourism, Jordanian professors of archaeology and tourism, foreign and Jordanian members of Non-Governmental Organizations involved with past and present projects at Petra, and foreign and Jordanian archaeologists working at Petra.

It covered a number of different aims: excavation of Tell Johfiyeh, reconstruction of its stratigraphy, a surface survey of its surrounding area, an historical and functional interpretation, as well as a reconstruction of the social and political conditions of the site. The paper is focusing on the results of a deep sounding which was conducted in the south- western part of square 3 in 2004. Its pottery will be presented and discussed. Altogether 2631 pottery sherds have been registered here within 21 stratified locii. 225 pieces were classified as diagnostics and the remaining 2406 pieces have been counted as body sherds. A first analysis showed that the stratified pottery of the deep sounding covers a time range lasting from the Late Bronze Age up to the end of the Persian period (Iron Age III).

  • Clans, Gods and Temples at the LPPNB ‘Ayn Ghazal1
    M. Benz (ed.), The Principle of Sharing. Segregation and Construction of Social Identities at the Transition from Foraging to Farming. Studies in Early Near Eastern Production, Subsistence, and Environment 14 (2010) 301-312. Berlin, ex oriente. Clans, gods and temples at the LPPNB ‘Ayn Ghazal1 Zeidan A. Kafafi "The Canaanites known to the writers of the biblical texts can be seen to be the same people who settled in farming villages in the eighth millennium BC." (Tubb 1998:13-14). Abstract: The archaeological excavations conducted at the site of ‘Ayn Ghazal revealed several types of architecture identified as ritual buildings (including "temples") dated back to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B. The excavators noted that those built in the western part of the site were curvilinear in plan while those constructed in the eastern part were rectangular. From these facts arise three questions: . Why did the prehistoric inhabitants of ‘Ayn Ghazal build several ritual constructions? . Why were these constructions built so near to each other? . Did these ritual buildings belong to several distinct social groups that lived side by side at ‘Ayn Ghazal? These questions are considered in the context of a parallel study of the Canaanite pantheon and of the construction, methods, and plans of the identified LPPNB ritual buildings at ‘Ayn Ghazal. This approach may help us understand the social and economic structure at the site during the LPPNB. Zusammenfassung: Bei den Ausgrabungen von ‘Ayn Ghazal kamen verschiedene Bautypen zu tage, die als rituelle Gebäude (inclusive “Tempel”) interpretiert wurden und ins Pre- Pottery Neolithic B datieren. Die Ausgräber konnten beobachten, dass die Gebäude im westlichen Bereich der Siedlung einen runden Grundriss hatten, während diejenigen im östlichen Teil einen rechteckigen Grundriss besaßen.
