Urban-riverine hinterland synergies in semi-arid environments : millennial-scale change, adaptations, and environmental responses at Gerasa/Jerash
This work was supported by the Carlsberg Foundation; the Danish National Research Foundation under Grant DNRF119 – Centre of Excellence for Urban Network Evolutions (UrbNet); Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Deutscher Palästina-Verein; the EliteForsk initiative of the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science; and H. P. Hjerl Hansens Mindefondet for Dansk Palæstinaforskning. ; This interdisciplinary study addresses issues of urban-riverine hinterland relationships in semi-arid environments over millennia at Gerasa/Jerash in Jordan, presenting research that stimulates new lines of enquiry with much broader implications than those relating to this single site. Through the presentation of new data on wadi-sediment responses to social and environmental change, we assess ways in which urban settlements, their hinterlands, and rivers interact over long time periods and how such changes may be read together with historical sources and shed new light on urban-hinterland dynamics. We explore the hypothesis that synergistic relationships between an urban core and its hinterland are essential to the long-term sustainability of both. Our integrated approach gives new insight into settlement dynamics and resource use and carries implications for our understanding of the present through the past. ; Publisher PDF ; Peer reviewed
