Abstract

In 2000–2001, the Tall Madaba Archaeological Project (TMAP) conducted an archaeological survey of the site of Khirbat al-Mukhayyat (Jordan) in anticipation of future excavation. Unfortunately, excavations were not immediately possible. With the formation of the Khirbat al-Mukhayyat Archaeological Project (KMAP) in 2012, collaborations with TMAP prioritized the analysis of this survey data. The central goal of the analysis was to create hypotheses concerning fluctuations in occupation and the nature of human activity at the site that could be tested against future archaeological excavation. Secondary goals included assessing the extent to which such legacy survey data could be integrated into the evolving research program of KMAP and elsewhere. The results of this analysis show the changing nature of human occupation at Khirbat al-Mukhayyat over time, highlighting activity during the Iron Age, Hellenistic, and Byzantine periods and reflect on the importance of using and making the results of such surveys available.

老数据，新思路：分析和整合约旦 Khirbat al-Mukhayyat 的遗留数据

2000-2001 年，高地马德巴考古项目（TMAP）对 Khirbat al-Mukhayyat 遗址（约旦）进行了考古调查，以期待未来的发掘工作。遗憾的是，发掘工作未能立即进行。随着 2012 年 Khirbat al-Mukhayyat 考古项目（KMAP）的成立，与 TMAP 的合作优先考虑了对调查数据的分析。分析工作的核心目标是就遗址的占用波动和人类活动的性质提出假设，以便在今后的考古发掘工作中加以检验。次要目标包括评估这些遗留的调查数据在多大程度上可以纳入 KMAP 及其他地方不断发展的研究计划。分析结果表明，随着时间的推移，Khirbat al-Mukhayyat 遗址的人类活动性质发生了变化，突出了铁器时代、希腊化时期和拜占庭时期的活动，并反映了利用和提供此类勘测结果的重要性。

期刊介绍： Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies (JEMAHS) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to traditional, anthropological, social, and applied archaeologies of the Eastern Mediterranean, encompassing both prehistoric and historic periods. The journal’s geographic range spans three continents and brings together, as no academic periodical has done before, the archaeologies of Greece and the Aegean, Anatolia, the Levant, Cyprus, Egypt and North Africa. As the publication will not be identified with any particular archaeological discipline, the editors invite articles from all varieties of professionals who work on the past cultures of the modern countries bordering the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Similarly, a broad range of topics are covered, including, but by no means limited to: Excavation and survey field results; Landscape archaeology and GIS; Underwater archaeology; Archaeological sciences and archaeometry; Material culture studies; Ethnoarchaeology; Social archaeology; Conservation and heritage studies; Cultural heritage management; Sustainable tourism development; and New technologies/virtual reality.
