Tent Work in Palestine: A Record of Discovery and Adventure

A personal narrative of surveying and exploration in Palestine that blends travelogue, archaeological description, and practical field reportage. The author recounts journeys across the country, detailed topographical and site observations, and the process of mapping, while recording encounters with local communities such as Samaritans, fellahin, and Bedawîn and noting their customs. Chapters examine regions, ruins, and notable sites and the volume includes illustrations, appendices, and technical notes. Recurring themes are the difficulties of fieldwork, the connections between landscape and antiquities, and reflections on local life and material culture.
