Between 1989 and 2012 the settlement mound known as Tell Abu al-Kharaz in the central Jordan Valley to the east of the river Jordan was explored under the direction of the author of this volume. The city experienced its heyday in the Early Bronze Age and - following a lengthy gap in settlement - in the Late Middle Bronze and the Late Bronze Age. Concluding a series of three volumes on Tell Abu al-Kharaz, this study constitutes the first complete report about an Iron Age settlement in the Jordan Valley (after Volume I: Early Bronze Age, 2008 and Volume II: Middle and Late Bronze Age, 2006).
