Tell Hisban ‘a living laboratory’ of Mamluk periphery US scholar
There has been a boom in studies devoted to the Mamluk period (1250-1517) due to a recent “rural turn” in Islamic archaeology, according to a US archaeologist.
Speaking during a webinar titled “The Rural Renaissance of Mamluk Jordan: Tell Hisban in Context” on Thursday, Professor Bethany Walker from the University of Bonn, Germany, said: “The rural turn in Islamic archaeology pushed scholars away from castle sites”.
Another reason for the shift is the collaboration between archaeologists and historians, Walker said during the event organised by the French institute Ifpo.
