The Wilderness of Zin

In their famous six-weeks' survey of southern Palestine for the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1914, C. Leonard Woolley and T. E. Lawrence covered large tracts of the desert wilderness, studying monuments of numerous periods, from the prehistoric to the Islamic. Their records were first published in 1915. Not only was this work significant as an archaeological and historical record, but it also represented an astonishing feat on the part of Woolley and Lawrence, characteristic of the indefatigable spirit and polymathic interests of so many explorer-scholars in the Levant during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This new publication by Eisenbrauns includes previously unpublished letters and photographs, including several by T. E. Lawrence, and other material relating to the work still housed in the Palestine Exploration Fund's archives.Woolley, C. Leonard is the author of 'The Wilderness of Zin', published 2004 under ISBN 9781575060774 and ISBN 1575060779.
