Migration, ethnicity, and identity shape the contemporary world and are central themes in archaeology. Their complexity requires clear definitions, especially when investigating the past. Archaeology in the Southern Levant faces methodological challenges and calls for a reflective rethinking of concepts such as identity, ethnicity, social practice, and culture. This volume gathers twelve peer-reviewed contributions from the international conference Pots and Peoples Revisited: The Search for Identity in Archaeological Records (12–14 June 2024, Luxembourg School of Religion & Society). The papers span the Middle Bronze Age to Iron Age II, focusing on the transition from the Late Bronze to Iron Age I, and cover a geographic range from Egypt through the Levant to Mesopotamia. In addition, the volume features a comprehensive summary report of the workshop on archaeological investigations in the Jordan Valley. This workshop served as a focal point for interdisciplinary dialogue and highlighted both the current challenges and emerging opportunities in research across the region.
