Archaeology in Jordan

on archaeology in Jordan. In order to launch the series efficiently, I have limited myself in this issue to those projects with which I am readily familiar, namely those associated with the American Center of Oriental Research (ACOR). The work reported is not, however, exclusively by North Americans; a number of projects are European, Australian, and Jordanian. The 1992 newsletter will also incorporate work by the Department of Antiquities, the Department of Archaeology of the University of Jordan, the Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology at Yarmouk University, and the numerous international projects working in association with their national institutes or diplomatic missions. In keeping with the AJA tradition for newsletters, the archaeologists report herein on their own work. In each case the reporter is the director or codirector of the project described. I thank all contributors for taking the time to write and send me their pieces. These reports are intended as news items, and do not replace the more elaborate scholarly reporting many of these project directors usually contribute to ADAJ, BASOR, and AASOR. Regular reports on fieldwork in Jordan also appear in the ACOR Newsletter and Ancient Jordan, a newsletter of the Jordanian Friends of Archaeology Society. In order to convey a historical overview, the reports are arranged in chronological order. Reports on surveys and multi-period sites are placed with the period where the project is making its greatest contribution currently. I am fully to blame for faulty judgments here!
