This study reconstructs the agricultural landscape of southern coastal plain late Ottoman and British Mandatory Palestine (today southwestern Israel) utilizing 19th early 20th century cartographic materials aerial photographs. Immense human effort ingenuity were required to maintain sustainable on fringes desert. Given today’s increasingly severe climate crisis, lessons drawn from these historical practices have particular resonance. The land use described in this work extended into dunes region where shallow water table was exploited create complex systems that enabled growth citrus trees, grapes, other crops for export trade. Aerial photos maps reveal critical aspects region’s neglected history. stability resilience systems, some which are still existence 76 years or more after they abandoned, as seen survey conducted study, point importance understanding preserving chapter heritage. unique varieties fruit trees adapted local western Negev significant economic value threatened with extinction rapid urban encroachment. remnants tradition serve testimony a bygone era replaced by mechanized monoculture. discussion centers ways n heritage agriculture rapidly changing areas can contribute broader field geography reconstructing landscapes preserve knowledge societal patterns behavior past communities future generations.

Character and Evolution of Sunken Groundwater-Harvesting Agroecosystems in Aeolian Sand since Early Islamic Times, between Iran and Iberia

Environmental Archaeology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 18

By reviewing traditional, sunken, groundwater-harvesting agroecosystems (SGHAS) in coastal and inland aeolian sand situated Iran, Egypt, Gaza Strip, Algeria Iberia, coupled with image interpretation geospatial analysis, we study the innovation function of recently excavated Early Islamic (EI; tenth-twelfth century), Plot-and-Berm along southeastern Mediterranean coast Israel. The SGHAS EI agroecosystems, usually affiliated nearby towns, possess an substrate enrichened urban refuse and/or organic material. long-term investment attained profitable water security form temporally continuous, shallow groundwater, replenished by rainfall. crops SGHASs include a wide range vegetables, watermelons, dates grapes, implying that were partly or fully different. spotty, historic appearance since fifteenth–sixteenth centuries lags after abandonment does not support spatial temporal connectivity agriculture knowledge, but probably exemplifies site-specific ingenuities derived from growing agro-technological crop variety needs for food security. This demonstrates importance traditional analogues interpreting research gaps archaeological, agricultural landscapes provides insight establishing traditionally-based, sustainable sand.
