Although the individual contributions presented at these congresses are usually published in the Acta, the present editors have taken an alternative approach in order to expand the number of papers and allow each author to include more detail. The 11 papers cover a wide range of topics that include both historical and archaeological. There are three papers on Britain, one on the continental side of the “Saxon Shore”, two on the Danube, and single contributions on the eastern frontier and N Africa, but, somewhat surprisingly, none on the Rhine. A general index would have greatly increased the usefulness of the collection.}, journal={JOURNAL OF ROMAN ARCHAEOLOGY}, author={Parker, S.

Varied evidence suggests that this valley, despite a hyper-arid climate and some topographic obstacles (e.g., sand dune fields), has long been a major route for travel between the Red Sea and Palestine/Jordan. The Araba was also one of the most important sources of copper in classical antiquity. Largely neglected by archaeologists in the region, the valley has recently been the focus of several important excavations and surface surveys on both sides of the frontier. The plethora of new evidence, much available heretofore only as preliminary reports, offers scholars the chance to view the entire region through a diachronic perspective starting in late prehistoric times, with the classical millennium (Hellenistic through Byzantine) now particularly well attested throughout the valley. I will try to treat this important new volume in this broader context.}, journal={Journal of Roman Archaeology}, publisher={Cambridge University Press (CUP)}, author={Parker, S.

The bones, representing the gill apparatuses of at least 33 medium-sized tunas (Auxis; Scombridae) and a single individual of a lizardfish (Trachinocephalus myops; Synodontidae), are believed to correspond to haimation. This highly prized fish sauce, documented previously only from ancient textual evidence, was typically made from the gills and the entrails of tunnids to which salt was added. The sauce was not imported from the Mediterranean or the Black Sea, but made from local Red Sea fish as shown by the zoogeographical distribution of the lizardfish that is considered as stomach content of the tunas. Because the fish bones were found in a locally produced jar and because the calculated volume of the haimation that the bones represent corresponds more or less to the volume of the jar, it is concluded that this high-quality garum was produced in this container at Aila itself.}, number={7}, journal={JOURNAL OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SCIENCE}, author={Van Neer, Wim and Parker, S.

The archaeology of the Byzantine Period used to be "too late" for those interested in the Biblical periods and "too early" for those scholars specialized in the remains of Islamic civilization. Now that situation has been totally transformed by a wide-ranging burst of archaeological energy involving a broad range of specialists and perspectives. In his detailed summary of the main currents and fruits of research into the material remains of Byzantine Palestine, Tom Parker begins his historical review with Diocletian to provide a more well-founded sense of the political processes that shaped the transformation of culture in the region. A summary of significant inscriptions and the implications to be drawn from the sophisticated archaeological surveys that have been accomplished in recent years leads to a review of excavations, including that new focus on smaller, rural settlements. Then the treatment shifts to the architecture, pottery and other material remains that have now been recovered, concluding with an evaluation of the impact of archaeological research on historical understandings of the period.}, number={3}, journal={NEAR EASTERN ARCHAEOLOGY}, author={Parker, ST}, year={1999}, month={Sep}, pages={134–180} } @article{parker_1998, title={An early church, perhaps the oldest in the world, found at Aqaba (Archaeological excavations in southern Jordan)}, volume={61}, ISSN={["1094-2076"]}, DOI={10.2307/3210658}, abstractNote={Previous articleNext article No AccessArti-FactsAn Early Church, Perhaps the Oldest in the World, Found at AqabaS.

Results of the project's regional survey are presented in a companion article by Smith, Stevens, and Niemi (1997). Finally, some preliminary historical conclusions are offered based on this research. The excavation uncovered significant portions of the ancient Nabataean, Roman, and Byzantine city of Aila, which flourished from the first century B. C. to the Early Islamic conquest. It seems clear that parts of the Byzantine settlement continued to be occupied even after construction of the new Islamic walled town in the mid-seventh century A. D.
