Like many of the endeavors by The Oxford University Press in the
history of archaeology, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Archaeology in the Near East is one
of the most important compendium's of information comprising the history of Near Eastern
Archaeology in recent time. Eric M. Meyers (Professor of Religion and Archaeology, Duke
University), the Editor in Chief of the volume series, has done a masterful job of
bringing together of wide variety of site information and biographical synposes of Near
Eastern archaeologists into a series of five volumes which are not only "user friendly"
but "worth their weight in gold" for scholars and interested readers of the history of
Near Eastern Archaeology. The wealth of information at the fingertips of the prospective
researcher or interested reader is enormous. Although vast in its scope, the user of the
volumes will find it easily accessible and of true value as a research tool. |
