More About the Author

Ted Banning was born in Montreal, Canada, in 1955 and was brought up in southern Ontario, receiving his PhD in Near Eastern archaeology at University of Toronto in 1985. He decided to become an archaeologist around the age of 9, and shortly after also became interested in numismatics - especially ancient Greek and Roman and early Japanese coins. However, his broad archaeological interests eventually settled down on the Near Eastern Neolithic, including a role on the senior staff of the 'Ain Ghazal excavations from 1982 to 1989 and directing his own project on a series of small Neolithic, Chalcolithic, and Early Bronze Age sites in northern Jordan from 1987 onward. He is currently a professor in the Anthropology Department of University of Toronto, where he teaches archaeological lab methods and pursues research on Near Eastern prehistory and archaeological survey methods.
