"Abila of the Decapolis is the largest Graeco-Roman city in Jordan with a tremendous
wealth of funerary remains, and thus has the potential to improve our understanding
of ancient culture and mobility. This is the first comprehensive synthesis of burial
types, practices, and evidence for societal collapse in the growing field of bioarchaeology
of Jordan. The book provides a comprehensive descriptive catalogue of the tombs and
classification of tomb types, documented by over a hundred plans and 3D reconstructions.
It also presents a model to explain the decline of Abila at the end of the Byzantine
period. It will be a unique source for students and researchers interested in the
funerary architecture and bioarchaeology of the classical period (Greek, Roman, and
Byzantine)."
