Drawing the Threads Together
Studies on Archaeology in Honour of Karin Bartl
edited by Alexander Ahrens, Dorte Rokitta-Krumnow, Franziska Bloch and Claudia Buhrig
This volume is a tribute dedicated to Karin Bartl, former director of the Damascus Branch of the German Archaeological Institute’s Orient Department, who in her career has conducted extensive research in the field of Near Eastern Archaeology and beyond. The book features 28 papers written by 38 of her colleagues and friends from Afghanistan, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, The Netherlands, Syria and the United States. The various contributions combine archaeological, theoretical, and historical studies ranging from the Neolithic to the Ottoman Period, mainly covering the Levant, but also dealing with the cultural regions of Afghanistan, Turkey, and the Arabian Peninsula including Yemen.
