近东考古学起源于对伟大物品的争夺，因为世纪的帝国主义列强填满了他们的国家博物馆。从那时起，考古学家试图回答的问题已经多样化。我们不再只对国王的生活感兴趣;我们更关心整个社会。我们的问题现在需要一个超越挖掘战壕的视角;如果我们想知道城市化的兴起，人类土地使用和环境影响，以及国家和帝国的人口影响，我们必须考虑整个景观。这种研究视野的拓宽是世纪后期考古调查作为一种实地方法发展的背后原因。
Near Eastern archaeology has its origins in the scramble for great objects, as the great imperial powers of the nineteenth century filled their national museums. Since that time, the questions that archaeologists seek to answer have diversified. We are no longer interested only in the lives of kings; we are more concerned with society generally. Our questions now demand a perspective beyond the excavation trench; we have to consider entire landscapes if we want to know about the rise of urbanism, human land use and environmental impacts, and the demographic impacts of states and empires, for example. This broadening of research horizons was behind the growth of archaeological survey as a field method in the later twentieth century.
