The authors are to be congratulated on bringing to final publication a detailed report on one of three areas of excavations conducted during phase 1 (five seasons, 1981–1987) of an ongoing archaeological project at the site of Khirbat Iskandar, a third-millennium town and cemetery site on the south Jordan plateau. Following an introduction, there is an orderly description of the site environment and of the stratigraphy and finds associated with three phases of the Early Bronze (EB) IV occupation in Area C, including a “gateway” structure.
