The Wilderness of Zin
|
| |
The Wilderness of Zin, first published as the Annual Palestine Exploration Fund for 1914/15, describes an extraordinary archaeological survey carried out as cover for a British military mapping operation in southern Palestine - today's Negev - just before the outbreak of The First World War. The most comprehensive account of the region 90 years ago, its significance today is enhanced as a source on Lawrence and the run-up to the Great War. This edition also includes previously unpublished material and essays, all of which provide a fuller picture of this remarkable episode. |

| T.E. Lawrence - Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence, CB, DSO (16 August 1888 - 19 May 1935) gained a first in history at Oxford, for which he wrote a renowned thesis on Crusader castles, before he embarked upon a career as an archaeologist. After his famous exploits in the First World War, Lawrence enrolled in both the Royal Air Force and the Tank Corps before his death in a motorcycle accident.
C. Leonard Woolley - Sir Charles Leonard Woolley (17 April 1880 - 20 February 1960) had already dug extensively in Egypt, Italy, and Britain before he joined Lawrence at Carchemish on the Euphrates in 1912. Woolley went on to become one of the greatest archaeologists of the 20th century, his reputation being made at Ur in Iraq.
