The role played by archaeology in perpetuating this view, claims Magness, is particularly insidious, because it is perceived, rightly or wrongly, as providing "scientific" (and therefore "objective") data. Thus, archaeological evidence is frequently cited by scholars as proof or confirmation that Palestine declined after the Muslim conquest, and especially after the rise of the Abbasids in the mid-eighth century. Instead, Magness argues that the archaeological evidence supports the idea that Palestine and Syria experienced a tremendous growth in population and prosperity between the mid-sixth and mid-seventh centuries.Social sciencesArchaeologyExcavations (Archaeology)Middle EastIsraelAntiquitiesNegev (Israel)AntiquitiesSocial sciencesArchaeology.Excavations (Archaeology)956.94/903Magness Jodi1790931MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910954406703321The Archaeology of the Early Islamic Settlement in Palestine4327775UNINA
