This volume – born out of the conference “Urbanism in the Iron Age Levant and Beyond'” held at Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel, on September 18-22, 2022 – represents a diverse cross-section of studies on archaeological, textual, and theoretical aspects relating to urbanism in the ancient Levant during the Iron Age (ca. 1200-600 BCE).
Many significant finds related to urbanism in the Iron Age Levant have been uncovered in the last decades, warranting synthetic treatments combining these finds with theoretical approaches. Furthermore, the fascinating advances in the theoretical study of ancient urbanism in recent years, have enabled much more complex and multifaceted approaches to the study of ancient cities. These advances have raised many new questions and ideas, and, in some cases, overturned long held assumptions about urbanism and its very definition. This volume – born out of the conference “Urbanism in the Iron Age Levant and Beyond'” held at Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel, on September 18-22, 2022 – represents a diverse cross-section of studies on archaeological, textual, and theoretical aspects relating to urbanism in the ancient Levant during the Iron Age (ca. 1200-600 BCE). In addition, the contributions examine urban-related phenomena in other cultures, regions, and periods, providing a broad overview of evidence for ancient cities in antiquity from both archaeological and textual perspectives.
