Summary:While not a traditional focus of archaeological research in the region, historical archaeology has a growing presence in the Middle East. Themes explored by colleagues interested in the post-1500 archaeological record include both topics of globalization and colonialism relevant to historical archaeology around the world and topics specific to local cultural and historical postmedieval developments—and sometimes both simultaneously.
