Document Details : Title: The Archaeology of Palestine/Jordan in the Early Ottoman Period Author(s): SCHICK, Robert Journal: ARAM Periodical Volume: 10 Issue: 1-2 Date: 1998 Pages: 563-575 DOI: 10.2143/ARAM.10.1.2002156 Abstract : Rather than bemoan further such lack of interest, this article has the objective of surveying the state of knowledge of the material culture of the early Ottoman period. The situation is not all bleak; indeed there have now been four Ph.D. theses that deal at least in part with the archaeology of Palestine/Jordan in the 16th-17th centuries: Ziadeh's study of the excavated Ottoman period archaeological remains of the village of Ti‘innek; Brown's study of pottery production in the Late Islamic period; Kareem's study of settlement in the Jordan Valley in the Late Islamic period, based on his excavations at the site of Dhra‘ al-Khan; and Baram's theoretical modeling for the study of the material culture of the Ottoman period, in which he examines tobacco pipes as an exceptionally informative class of objects about broader economic and social developments. There are also several MA theses of note, such as Brown's study of Late Islamic settlement of the Karak plateau in Jordan, as well as al-Malkawi's study of Late Mamluk-Early Ottoman period water mills in Wadi Kufranjah in northern Jordan; Abu Armayis' study of the Late Islamic period remains of the village of Artas and Solomon's Pools south of Bethlehem; and ‘Ubaydat's study of the Ottoman hajj forts in southern Jordan, among a larger number dealing with pottery typologies of the Mamluk period that could well be continuing into the early Ottoman period. |
