Reseña del editor
Eastern Jordan is divided environmentally into two zones: the rocky basalt Harra to the west, an inhospitable terrain favoured as a hideout by bandits and brigands, and the open gravel plains of the Hamad to the east, with few water sources, too far from settled land to come effectively under state control. This book is the first of a series of reports on fieldwork carried out in this region from 1979 to 1991. It presents evidence for the Epipaleolithic periods and concentrates on the site of Dhuweila, a hunting camp used in the seventh and sixth millennia BC, and surrounding camps making use of desert 'kites', their chipped and ground stone industries, animal remains, botanical remains and rock art. There is also an edited summary of work by Uzbek and Russian scholars on hunting traps and animal migration patterns on the Ustiurt plateau in Uzbekistan, which lies between the Aral and the Caspian seas.
