Volume One of Petra's Temple of the Winged Lions discusses the history of the archaeological projects at this important Nabatatean temple site; the geological aspects of the site; the architecture and architectural decoration and analysis of the marble. It also provides a catalogue of plaster and similar material.

Petra's Temple of the Winged Lions, named for its distinctive column capitals, has been excavated and conserved for 40 years. These two volumes see a great deal of data and syntheses published for the first time; they bring to publication the results of two long-term archaeological projects in the ancient Nabataean heartland.
