Building between the Two Rivers aims to supply university students and scholars of
Near Eastern archaeology with an introduction to the'Building archaeology' methods
as applied to the context of Ancient Mesopotamia. It helps the reader understand the
principles underlying the discipline, which deals with the registration and analysis
of all building materials and techniques involved in the assembly and erection of
a construction, and to outline what knowledge and skills are needed, beyond those
that are specific to archaeologists. Due to the introductory nature of the book, contents
are organised in didactic chapters, trying to cover all the main topics and displaying
them by means of selected examples. Particular attention is given to the methods of
the 'stratigraphic reading', which are discussed in a dedicated appendix authored
by Piero Gilento. A thematic bibliography and a technical glossary complete the book,
helping readers enhance their understanding of the subject -- page 4 of cover
