Publisher's Synopsis
The Decapolis city of Jerash has long attracted attention from travellers and scholars. Between 2011 and 2016, a Danish-German team, led by the universities of Aarhus and M?nster, focused their attention on the Northwest Quarter of Jerash - the highest point within the walled city - and this volume is the sixth in a series of books presenting the team's final results. In this volume, a wide range of miscellaneous items discovered in the Northwest Quarter are presented, ranging from prehistoric lithics to Ottoman pipes. These chapters ensure that all finds from the Northwest Quarter - no matter how small - are made available to researchers, with the contributions gathered here offering unique new insights into the material groups from Gerasa, later Jerash.
