Darlene L. Brooks Hedstrom offers a new history of the field of monastic archaeology in Egypt. Using critical theories from landscape studies, materiality and phenomenology, she analyzes archaeological, documentary, and literary sources from late antique Egypt to reconstruct how monastic settlements transformed the desertscape into a monastic landscape.
