This volume is a convenient tool for all those interested in the location of territories and sites attested in the Bible as "East of the Jordan" i.e. what is now the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. It presents the history of the identification of each biblical site and suggests the most likely location based on information provided by the biblical text, extra-biblical literary information, toponymic considerations and archaeology. The volume treats all territories and sites of Hebrew Scriptures in Transjordan from the "cities of the plains" (eg Soddom and Gomorrah), the Exodus itineraries, and the territories and sites of the Israelite tribes (Reuben, Gad, and half Manasseh), to Ammon, Moab, Edom, and Gilead.

Taking advantage of the increasing investigation and analysis of archaeological field date relating to agriculture and food production, Borowski integrates the latest results with the related textual evidence both from the Bible and from outside it. The four major areas investigated are the land, field work and grain production, cultigens and cultivars, and factors in soil fertility and crop crop yield. A standard reference both for those wanting to understandbiblical texts relating to agriculature and those interested in the scientific and archaeological analysis of ancient agriculture. Thorough indices provide easy access to the information presented in the book. `An interesting and well-documented glimpse into the methods and practices of farming in Iron Age Israel' - J M Hadley, VT38 (1988).
