Introduction

Hess Cw, Manuelli F

Ancient Near Eastern Archaeology  Ancient Near East  Conference Proceedings 

The first volume of the proceedings of the conference 'Broadening Horizons 6 -- Bridging the Gap:Disciplines, Times, and Space in Dialogue' gathers the papers presented in three sessions: Session 1-- Entanglement. Material Culture and Written Sources in Dialogue; Session 2 -- Integrating Sciencesin Historical and Archaeological Research; Session 5 -- Which Continuity? Evaluating Stability,Transformation, and Change in Transitional Periods. The range of topics covered here is certainlybewildering, and leaves us shuttling across vast periods and regions, from Neolithic Göbekli Tepe tothe ink recipes of medieval Arabic manuscripts. At the core of each session and paper, however, is notonly the overt confrontation with methodology in dealing with the evidence, but the need for multiple,intersecting methodologies in order to interpret that evidence in any meaningful sense.
