This review critically assesses 'Crusader Landscapes in the Medieval Levant,' a compilation of twenty-seven articles examining the archaeology and history of the Latin East. It highlights the regional studies of the kingdom of Jerusalem, particularly its rural and urban landscapes, alongside essays exploring lesser-known documents and the influence of the Crusades on cultural exchanges. The collection contributes valuable insights into political, ethnic, and religious dynamics as well as material culture during the Crusader period, appealing to interdisciplinary scholars.
