Abstract

Abstract By combining information from geography, archaeology and ethnography, the evolution of water technology in the Levant can be reconstructed and followed through the gradual development and diversification of water supply and storage systems during the period from the late ninth‐late second millennium B.C. As well as documenting the appearance of the individual components of traditional water use in the Levant ‐ water storage vessels, wells, cisterns, tunnels, canals and reservoirs, these features are considered in relation to village subsistence, town planning and public health.
