Once dubbed the 'Oldest City in the World', Jericho has been the focus of intense archaeological activity and media interest in the 150 years since its discovery. From early investigations in the 19th century, through Kathleen Kenyon's work at the site in the 1950s, to the recent Italian-Palestinian Expedition and Khirbat al-Mafjar Archaeological Project, Jericho and its surrounding landscape has always played a key role in our understanding of this fascinating region. Current efforts to get the site placed on the World Heritage List only enhance its appeal. Covering all aspects of work at the site, this volume offers the opportunity to re-evaluate and assess the legacy of this important site OP 320 NO Also issued in print: 2019 NO Includes bibliographical references and index NO Zielgruppe - Audience: Specialized CN DS110.J4 SN 9781789693522 K1 Excavations (archaeology) : West Bank : Jericho K1 Jericho : History K1 Jericho : Antiquities K1 Konferenzschrift : 29.06.2015-30.06.2015 : London
