Notes:	Includes bibliographical references. Konstantinos D. Politis is an archaeologist who is well-versed on the Near East from prehistory through to the medieval periods, with a focus on Late Antiquity. He has published eight books and numerous scholarly articles and has presented many lectures in Europe, the Near East, Australia and North America. From 1986 to 2004, Dr. Politis led the Sanctuary of Lot Project for the British Museum, and from 1997 to 2018, he directed the Ghor as-Safi Project, instigating the Museum at the Lowest Place on Earth. He has also headed other projects for the Greek, Jordanian, Syrian and Omani governments as well as British Council, UNESCO and USAID. Recently, he has completed seminal EU-funded research about the Ghor as-Safi at Athens and Ionian universities, now published.
Summary:	"Biblical Zoara is located in the Ghor as-Safi, precisely at the lowest place on earth. Its environmental and cultural history is therefore unique. During two decades, an archaeological project was conducted which discovered many significant finds of human occupations spanning some 12,000 years. These have been meticulously studied and the results are now presented in this comprehensive volume"--
