Learn more about “Making a home in Long-abandoned Places: A life-history of tall Hisban, Jordan” a lecture presented by Prof. Bethany Walker.
About lecture:
The resettlement of centuries-long abandoned towns, villages, and farmsteads across Bilād al-Shām in the 13th century CE is a demographic phenomenon that has yet to be explained. This lecture focuses on the occupational history of one particularly vibrant example of this phenomenon, the archaeological site of Tall Ḥisbān in central Jordan. Abandoned in the Abbasid period (10th century) and reoccupied suddenly three hundred years later, its life history is a fascinating one of migration, homeland-making, and resilience.
