To Alan Walmsley, at sixty-five Jarash (also Jerash, Greek Gerasa) ranks among the principal urban centres of Late Antique and Early Islamic Jordan. Despite being one of the most intensively investigated urban sites within the region, the history of Jarash during the Islamic ages, in particular after the massive earthquake of 749, remains a topic of profound disagreement. Drawing on previously unpublished data from recent excavation projects, we present here a critical review of the settlement history of Jarash from 700–1200 CE, emphasizing the resilience of local communities and the impact of long-term economic and social trends.

伊斯兰时代的贾拉什（约公元 700-1200 年）：批判性评论

对艾伦·沃姆斯利 (Alan Walmsley) 而言，65 岁的贾拉什 (Jerash，希腊语 Gerasa) 是晚期古董和早期伊斯兰约旦的主要城市中心。尽管是该地区研究最深入的城市遗址之一，但贾拉什在伊斯兰时代的历史，特别是在 749 年大地震之后，仍然是一个存在深刻分歧的话题。利用近期挖掘项目中先前未发表的数据，我们在此对公元 700 年至 1200 年间贾拉什的定居历史进行了批判性回顾，强调了当地社区的复原力以及长期经济和社会趋势的影响。
