Abstract
The first urbanization of the Palestine region began in the late centuries of the fourth millennium B.C. East of the Jordan, urbanism collapsed at the end of Islamic Medieval times and tent dwellers largely occupied the land until World War I. The seven or so centuries without urban disturbance provides an excellent trajectory for visualizing the situation as it probably was before urbanization began. Nineteenth century travelers have given excellent and detailed accounts of the fauna, flora, and water resources that contrast sharply with such resources today. A number of these observations are cited as a basis for reconstruction of the natural resources of Early Bronze times.
