Synopsis The Byzantine-Islamic Transition in Palestine by : Gideon Avni
Using a comprehensive evaluation of recent archaeological findings, Avni addresses the transformation of local societies in Palestine and Jordan between the sixth and eleventh centuries AD. Arguing that these archaeological findings provide a reliable, though complex, picture, Avni illustrates how the Byzantine-Islamic transition was a much slower and gradual process than previously thought, and that it involved regional variability, different types of populations, and diverse settlement patterns. Based on the results of hundreds of excavations, including Avni's own surveys and excavations in the Negev, Beth Guvrin, Jerusalem, and Ramla, the volume reconstructs patterns of continuity and change in settlements during this turbulent period, evaluating the process of change in a dynamic multicultural society and showing that the coming of Islam had no direct effect on settlement patterns and material culture of the local population. The change in settlement, stemming from internal processes rather than from external political powers, culminated gradually during the Early Islamic period. However, the process of Islamization was slow, and by the eve of the Crusader period Christianity still had an overwhelming majority in Palestine and Jordan.

Synopsis Lucid Transformations by : Tamar Winter
The book investigates the contribution ofglass finds to understanding the nature of the transition from Byzantine toIslamic rule in Syria-Palestine, by analysing numerous glass assemblages fromJerusalem and its environs. This original synthesis explores the nature ofnumerous types of glass objects, and their distinct distribution in varioustypes of sites. Furthermore, the identification of trends of continuity andchange in the fabrics, technologies, typologies and styles of the glass findsthroughout this turbulent period, illuminates the nature of the processesundergone by the various communities in the Jerusalem area. Themonograph comprises a newly established, comprehensive, up-to-datetypo-chronology, based on hundreds of glass wares of the Byzantine and EarlyIslamic periods from scores of excavations, in and around Jerusalem and inneighbouring regions. Additionally, a holistic study of lighting devices, glasslamps and windowpanes, includes a novel assessment of Christian, Muslim andJewish written sources regarding lighting in religious buildings in Jerusalemin the relevant periods.

Synopsis Byzantium and Islam by : Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)
This magnificent volume explores the epochal transformations and unexpected continuities in the Byzantine Empire from the 7th to the 9th century. At the beginning of the 7th century, the Empire's southern provinces, the vibrant, diverse areas of North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean, were at the crossroads of exchanges reaching from Spain to China. These regions experienced historic upheavals when their Christian and Jewish communities encountered the emerging Islamic world, and by the 9th century, an unprecedented cross- fertilization of cultures had taken place. This extraordinary age is brought vividly to life in insightful contributions by leading international scholars, accompanied by sumptuous illustrations of the period's most notable arts and artifacts. Resplendent images of authority, religion, and trade—embodied in precious metals, brilliant textiles, fine ivories, elaborate mosaics, manuscripts, and icons, many of them never before published— highlight the dynamic dialogue between the rich array of Byzantine styles and the newly forming Islamic aesthetic. With its masterful exploration of two centuries that would shape the emerging medieval world, this illuminating publication provides a unique interpretation of a period that still resonates today.

Synopsis The Archaeology of the Early Islamic Settlement in Palestine by : Jodi Magness
There is a common perception that the Muslim conquest of Palestine in the seventh century caused a decline in the number and prosperity of settlements throughout the country. The role played by archaeology in perpetuating this view, claims Magness, is particularly insidious, because it is perceived, rightly or wrongly, as providing “scientific” (and therefore “objective”) data. Thus, archaeological evidence is frequently cited by scholars as proof or confirmation that Palestine declined after the Muslim conquest, and especially after the rise of the Abbasids in the mid-eighth century. Instead, Magness argues that the archaeological evidence, freed insofar as possible of political and/or religious biases, supports the idea that Palestine and Syria experienced a tremendous growth in population and prosperity between the mid-sixth and mid-seventh centuries. Such a radical shift in the interpretation of the evidence guarantees that this volume will be a benchmark with which future interpretations must reckon. The book includes a CD with map and key, which provides additional information regarding the sites studied and the area examined.
