Gerasa, a Decapolis city in northern Jordan, has long been of interest to the international
community of archaeologists and ancient historians. The final publications of the
Danish-German Jerash Northwest Quarter Project is the most comprehensive publication
on the archaeology of the site, since the 1938 publication edited by C. H. Kraeling.
The Decapolis city of Jerash has long attracted attention from travellers and scholars,
due both to the longevity of the site and the remarkable finds uncovered during successive
phases of excavation that have taken place from 1902 onwards. Between 2011 and 2016,
a Danish-German team, led by the universities of Aarhus and Münster, focused their
attention on the Northwest Quarter of Jerash - the highest point within the walled
city - and this is the fourth in a series of books presenting the team's final results.
This two-part set offers a comprehensive presentation of Jerash's rich building heritage
from the Late Hellenistic period up to the city's destruction in the mid-eighth century
ad through a discussion of architectural elements, together with analysis of the mosaics,
wall paintings, and building ceramics excavated from the Northwest Quarter. As well
as providing a general overview of the city's changing patterns of habitation, the
contributions gathered here also include close case- studies and object biographies
that shed new light on the intense use, reuse, and recycling of materials that testify
to evolving urban practices and optimization of resources across the Roman, Byzantine,
and Islamic periods
