title = "Al-Bādiyah landscapes in fifth- to tenth-century Jordan: a barometer of change",
abstract = "Stretching from the southern slopes of the Ḥawrān to northern Arabia, the Jordanian Bādiyah is characterised by variously flat, undulating and hilly topography, dry in summer yet potentially greened by pasture after winter rains. In the early 1980s, when new problem-driven field projects began questioning old paradigms, archaeologists and historians became motivated to rethink the role of the Bādiyah in the history of the Arḍ al-Shām (Syria–Palestine), especially in Late Roman/Early Byzantine and Early Islamic times",
