Abstract

Gruber and Al-Ferzly have put together a book that intriguingly unravels the mood and times of the Qaṣr al-Ḥayr al-Sharqī excavations. The intentions, achievements, obstacles, and unexpected outcomes of the project are laid out in full clarity, while a valuable and empathic insight is given into the people of the Syrian countryside and their ways, now tragically decimated.
