THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL TELLS THE STORY OF A SMALL COMMUNITY THAT LIVED IN THE MOUNTAINS NEAR PETRA/WADI MUSA, JORDAN, DURING THE PRE-POTTERY NEOLITHIC B ABOUT 9000 YEARS AGO.
AGRICULTURE HAD NOT BEEN FULLY ESTABLISHED YET; HUNTING AND GATHERING WAS STILL A MAJOR PART OF LIFE. THE COMMUNITY RELIED ON THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE OF THEIR WISE WOMAN.
BUT THIS IS NOT ONLY THE STORY OF THE COMMUNITY OF AN EARLY FARMING VILLAGE; NO, IT IS INTERWOVEN WITH THE STORY OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND EXCAVATIONS CARRIED OUT BY A TEAM OF ARCHAEOLOGISTS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN.
Graphic novels in archaeology are not a new phenomenon. Illustrations have always played a major role in visualising and documenting archaeological finds. However, the book that you are holding in your hands is slightly different. It does not only tell a story based on archaeological findings, and it is also not the typical adventure story of some researchers going into the desert to uncover treasures of unbelievable value. No, this book tries to look behind the processes that influence how archaeologists build their narratives based on archaeological remains. How does an interpretation direct the overall story and how do new finds and results of a study change the content of the story? Is there only ONE story to tell or are more storylines possible?
