Excavations at Tell Um Hammad 1982-1984: the Late Assemblages (Ebin/ Iron Age
by A. V. G. Betts and Svend W. Helms
Published 1 October 1998
The third and final volume in the series outlining important findings in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, dealing with the material and stratigraphic record of Tell Um Hammad, a sprawling village settlement on the banks of the river Zerqa in the central Jordan Valley. Findings from the third millennium BC, and the best preserved and longest stratigraphic sequence for this period in Syria, shed new light on the links between farming communities of the Jordan Valley and the "proto-urban" settlements of southern Syria. Together the three volumes should be useful reference works for historians and archaeologists of the Near East.
