| Summary: | This book is the result of fourteen seasons of excavation at the small site of Mudayna Thamad in central Jordan. These excavations have contributed archaeological insights into the history, life and culture of the Iron Age kingdom of Moab, Judah's eastern neighbor. The site yielded an outstanding repertoire of rich, imported and exotic finds and a unique industrial quarter at the time of the Assyrian control of the Levant. This book discusses the architecture and finds in the gate and fortifications, as well as a large domestic quarter and the late Iron II temple at the north end of the mound. Evidence for the people of Mudayna Thamad comes from a collapsed tomb southwest of the town. Pottery and object illustrations, along with architectural plans illustrate the activities carried out at the site and provide evidence for its history and economy. |
