This article focuses on the book "Archeological Expeditions to Syria in 1904-1905 and 1909." The regions covered by these latest volumes of the Princeton Expedition are thickly strewn with ruins. In the southern Hauran, some seventy sites were visited. Of these, about a dozen are now inhabited villages, a considerable number more are used at harvest time or as refuges for shepherds and the like. About twenty show no signs of modern use or habitation. These volumes show the same conscientious care and scrupulous attention to detail as the former volumes of the series.
