Daniel Schyle & Jürgen Richter (eds.)
Pleistocene Archaeology of the Petra Area in Jordan
With contributions by Manuel Bertrams, Thomas C. Hauck, Shumon T. Hussain, Karin Kindermann, Jürgen Richter, Daniel Schyle and Thomas Wolter
Since 2009, annual field campaigns led a multidisciplinary “CRC 806” team from Cologne and Aachen to the Wadi Sabra, south of the Nabataean capital of Petra in the Kingdom of Jordan.
At the Wadi Sabra, the team found long sediment records covering the transition from the Middle Palaeolithic to the Upper Palaeolithic and the whole of the Upper Palaeolithic era.
The present volume compiles all excavation reports from the first project phase (2009–2013) thus focusing on the descriptive presentation of the excavation plans, sections, lithic assemblages, and faunal inventories. Complementary information about the geological setting, the sedimentation history and its interpretation in terms of climate history is also given.
