Designed for visitors to Christian, Jewish, and Islamic archaeological sites in the Holy Land, from earliest times to 1700, this guide includes the Damascus Gate, the Holy Sepulchre, the Via Dolorosa, Mount Sion, the Dead Sea, Hebron, and Jericho. The introduction gives a brief historical outline from the Stone Age to the Modern Period, offers practical advice, and lists sites according to period. The guide presupposes little knowledge of history or archaeology and gives clear directions on how to find sites and monuments of interest - both well known and less familiar. Entries on many important sites are supplemented with detailed maps, plans, and illustrations.
