Between 2011 and 2016, a Danish-German team, led by the universities of Aarhus and Munster, focused their attention on the Northwest Quarter of Jerash - the highest point within the walled city - and this is the fourth in a series of books presenting the team's final results. This two-part set offers a comprehensive presentation of Jerash's rich building heritage from the Late Hellenistic period up to the city's destruction in the mid-eighth century ad through a discussion of architectural elements, together with analysis of the mosaics, wall paintings, and building ceramics excavated from the Northwest Quarter. As well as providing a general overview of the city's changing patterns of habitation, the contributions gathered here also include close case- studies and object biographies that shed new light on the intense use, reuse, and recycling of materials that testify to evolving urban practices and optimization of resources across the Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic periods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Achim Lichtenberger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2503596665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782503596662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brepols Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 18.29lbs","brand":"Achim Lichtenberger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450085028095,"sku":"9782503596662","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_489d4e2f-b6b5-4d31-86d6-bda5b9913319.jpg?v=1777266154","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/architectural-elements-wall-paintings-and-achim-lichtenberger-9782503596662","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
