Reviews

Undoubtedly, Gruber and Al-Ferzly have put together a book that intriguingly unravels the mood and times of the Qasr al-Hayr al-Sharqi excavations. The intentions, achievements, obstacles, and unexpected outcomes of the project are laid out in full clarity, while a valuable and empathic insight is given into the people of the Syrian countryside and their ways, now tragically decimated. Walmsley, Alan, Bulletin of Oriental and African Studies 15 September 2023
