Southern Levant (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Levant is defined as the geographical region bordering the Mediterranean, roughly between Egypt and Anatolia (modern Turkey). The southern Levant is therefore roughly the same area as Palestine and the modern states of Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and Jordan. These terms are used by archaeologists and residents of the region who wish to avoid taking a modern geo-political stance in a region rife with border disputes.
