“…The entire course of the road was inspected by our team (see Figure 19). Eight archaeological sites (AS 36-48), seven road remains (RR [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42], and one pottery finding (PF 8) were recorded. The road can clearly be divided into two sections: one part descending the western bank of the Wadi Nukhayla (see Figure 20), and another ascending the eastern bank of the Wadi Nukhayla (see Figure 21).…”

This paper presents a unique case of the application of remote sensing methods in archaeological survey devoted to ancient pre-Roman Imperial roads in the Southern Levant. The results of our preparatory remote sensing research and subsequent fieldwork in Jordan and Israel between 22 February and 23 March 2023, within the framework of the research project entitled “Travel and Mobility in Hellenistic and Early Roman Palestine”, are reported and discussed. Part of this project is a large-scale, systematic research attempt to discover additional ancient pre-Roman roads and to suggest a working methodology for future research. The methodology is supposed to combine remote sensing research and archaeological survey. The project’s first fieldwork achieved several goals. First, the modern methods enabled us to provide a high-resolution capture of the detected features and artifacts, including the courses of ancient roads and the locations of road-related archaeological sites. Altogether, 105 road remains, 62 archaeological sites, and 14 pottery findings were identified; what is more, 11 GPS (Global Positioning System) tracks of ancient roads were registered. Second, we suggested necessary revisions to the previous state of research and reported new findings. For instance, newly discovered rock art evidence found along Glueck’s Road confirms the continuity of the use of this road long into late antiquity and early Islam. Third, some methodological conclusions were reached. For example, a multi-source approach to identifying ancient roads including the use of archival cartographic sources, archival and modern satellite and aerial imagery, and the databases of archaeological sites is still necessary. However, there can be no doubt that spatial analyses and remote sensing studies must be accompanied by archaeological fieldwork, which is absolutely necessary for determining the dating of the roads (by dating the settlement and pottery) and a detailed identification of the road courses (particularly through the discovery of road-related infrastructure).

“…The course of the western part of Glueck's Road is well marked by the appearance of curbstones (RR [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. The curbstones are built of stones measuring up to 1 m in diameter.…”

“…52 Excavations at 'Ein el-Hilu, on the northwestern margins of the Jezreel Valley, have revealed the greater part of this small village site. 53 Parts of six house compounds were discovered with a large part of their inventory intact (the discovery of intact vessels at many IBA settlements seems to point to organized migration from these sites, since almost any other form of abandonment would have been accompanied by extensive scavenging). The houses have a sprawling modular layout resembling the houses of Sha'ar Hagolan, but they are not tightly clustered.…”

“…A single tomb found about 300 meters south of the site has been associated with it, but there are large, possibly regional burial grounds within a radius of a few kilometers from the site, for example, at Maz'arib or even Hazorea' and Megiddo. 54 Salvage excavations at other sites in the Jezreel Valley, for example, at 'Afula in the central valley and at Murhan in the east, uncovered parts of domestic house units closely resembling those of 'Ein el-Hilu. 55 Horbat Qishron, too, on the northeast margins of the valley, yielded an architectural and materialculture assemblage that is virtually interchangeable with the valley sites.…”

The fundamental instability of urban or urbanizing forms of settlement in the first half of the third millennium BCE, described in Chapter 3, set the stage for an extended period of regional, non-urban settlement trajectories that covers the entire second half of the third millennium BCE. This long process of urban retreat, which began as early as the first quarter of the third millennium in some regions, may no longer qualify for the sobriquet of collapse, but is nonetheless post-urban. That is, rather than representing a survival of a resilient, primeval village substratum to which urban society reverts at the end of EB III (as proposed by some of those who refuse urban status to any Levantine sites), it should be viewed as a response to the stresses and excesses of the urbanizing trends that had affected large parts of the Levant, and as a risk-minimizing strategy that expanded the resource base for a more dispersed population. A measure of the degree to which IBA settlement recognized previous centers is the peculiar choreography of settlement and burial near and within previously urban sites that will be detailed below. These testify to a persistence of memory and to the existence of a carefully constructed genealogy that underlies territorial claims and affinities of the inhabitants of the non-urban settlements. Similarly, persistent elements of material culture and technological style point to strong links between the urban and post-urban populations in most parts of the Levant.The prolonged urban exodus of EB III should therefore be understood as a redeployment that opened new avenues of opportunity while breaking down the cultural barriers that characterized the ossified landscape of fortified towns. As will be seen, these new opportunities did not lead to the reemergence of centralized polities or to aggregations of wealth. Rather, for the next four centuries, the southern Levant appears to have settled into a "comfort zone," from which it would be jolted only at the start of the second millennium BCEa small-scale, politically segmented, territorially flexible village society.
