‎This issue of Journal of Urban Archaeology combines an open call for papers with a special thematic section focused on the entanglement of political control and colonialism with the archaeology of urban sites in the Near East and Egypt during the late Ottoman and the Mandate periods. The articles in this special issue examine how earlier colonial and orientalist approaches informed and shaped archaeological fieldwork, and created persistent legacies in the study of ancient urban sites, through the use of specifi c case studies. Through this approach, these articles demonstrate how the critical re-examination of legacy data can structure nuanced narratives, and together, the authors point the way forwards for dismantling current paradigms around the urban archaeology of the region.
