"Historical Archaeology and Heritage in the Middle East explores everyday, rural communities in Iran and Oman in the 19th and 20th centuries, through a combination of building analysis, excavation, artefact analysis and ethnographic interviews. The first of its kind, the book draws on the results of original field projects and brings together methodologies, research questions, and themes never before used or addressed in the Middle East. It helps establish historical archaeology in the Middle East and provides new ways in which the memorable, quotidian past can be exploited for its social and economic value in contemporary community and heritage developments"--
