Gold Rings for Young Girls
This article examines four gold ornaments and three bronze earrings dated to the late third–early second centuries BCE, retrieved from Building 110 in the Givʽati Parking Lot (GPL) excavations in Jerusalem. Based on their intact state, intrinsic value and similar contexts, we propose that the artifacts were intentionally deposited in or below the building’s floors on different occasions. Technological and stylistic analyses connect the jewelry to…
New insight into Canaanite mortuary practices through organic residue analysis of ceramic funerary gifts associated with anthropoid coffin at Tel Shaddud (Jezreel Valley, Israel) ca. 1200-1100 BCE
This study presents the results of organic residue analysis (ORA) of ceramic vessels recovered from a local anthropoid coffin and associated pit burials dating to the Late Bronze Age III (ca. 1200–1100 BCE) at Tel Shaddud in the Jezreel Valley, Israel. Using gas chromatography–flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), a range of lipid compounds was detected, including saturated and unsaturated fatty aci…
Empires, Local Traditions, and the Spread of Knowledge
Shedding a Concealed Light
In this contribution, we examine the custom of depositing lamps concealed between two bowls in a practice that became prevalent in the Southern Levant during the Late Bronze Age and persisted into the early Iron Age. Through meticulous examination of eleven such deposits unearthed at Tel Azekah, we elucidate the chronological evolution of this practice and its constituent elements. This investigation prompts a discussion of the role of the practi…
The Cornets of Teleilat Ghassul as a Vigil Object
This article presents a comprehensive study of an extensive cornet collection discovered at the Chalcolithic site of Teleilat Ghassul. These enigmatic conical vessels, considered a fossile directeur of the period, have never been systematically studied to date. The current research examines their material sources, morphological characteristics, shaping techniques and discard patterns. Finally, we propose a new framework for understanding their so…
A Unique Assemblage of Cremation Burial from Ḥorvat Tevet and Assyrian Imperial Rule in the Jezreel Valley
The excavation at Ḥorvat Tevet revealed a unique cremation burial assemblage, dating to the Iron IIC. This diverse assemblage, richer than comparable burials throughout the Levant, includes unparalleled pottery objects and luxury items that reflect extensive trade networks across the Mediterranean and Mesopotamia and emphasise the high status of the deceased and the community that carried out the burial. The opulence of the burial contrasts sharp…
Dating an ancient spring tunnel using archaeological artefacts functioning as nuclei of cave pearls
Cave pearls are spherical concentric speleothems growing radially around nuclei in shallow pools saturated with calcite. They are very rare in the Southern Levant. We present a unique assemblage of 50 cave pearls found in the Iron Age Joweizeh artificial spring tunnel in the Jerusalem Hills of Israel. Some of these deposits represent the first global evidence of formation on archaeological artefacts: pottery sherds and ancient plaster. Multi‐anal…
Invisible destruction? Identifying microscopic evidence of destruction by fire in iron age structures in Jerusalem
Identifying Cultural Habits and Economical Preferences in the Islamic Period, Mount Zion, Jerusalem
Archaeological and historical sources describe differently the course of events that occurred during the Islamic conquest of Jerusalem. Was the transition from the Byzantine to the Islamic period a short and dramatic event or a long and steady process? This study aims to examine the Islamic cultural influences over Jerusalem during the Byzantine/Umayyad period and later post-earthquake of the 8th century CE. Thus, we carried out a study of Mount …
Agricultural Terracing and Land Tenure in Late Medieval Southern Levant
Recent research into agricultural terrace systems across the Jerusalem Highlands, has revealed a significant pattern: the majority of terraces were constructed within the past 700 years, during the Mamluk and Ottoman periods. The motivation for building terrace systems, a labour-intensive endeavour requiring significant long-term investment, appears to be associated with land management policies. This study set out to test this hypothesis, by foc…
Between cities and villages
This study aims at establishing a historically based model of animal husbandry in urban and rural settlements, in the Southern Levant. This type of model is required in the field of zooarchaeology, to better analyze and study ancient faunal remains. It also applies a non-traditional method to study and differentiate between urban and rural economies. For this aim, we used British Mandate tax files and village statistics. These are the best availa…
Jerusalem in History
Advances in the sciences have heavily influenced the manner in which archaeology is conducted in recent years in Israel. In the past decade, this has also impacted the archaeological research of Jerusalem, applying innovative methods and taking a leap into the future with new approaches. In this article we wish to highlight the contribution of the scientific toolkit to the research of chronology, connectivity, foodways, environment and identity i…

True Blue? Locality of pottery decorations during the Middle Bronze
An Early Iron Age Moat in Jerusalem between the Ophel and the Southeastern Ridge/City of David
Excavations on Jerusalem's Southeastern Ridge, in the GivꜤati Parking Lot excavations, have exposed a man-made ditch, some 30 m wide and at least 6 m in depth, close to the hill's summit. This paper presents the technical features of the ditch, including the rock scarps that delineate it from the north and south, as well as an enigmatic installation composed of a series of intertwined channels. Through comparison with data from previous excavatio…

Burial offerings in intramural tombs at Middle Bronze Age Megiddo
Tel Megiddo is a major type‐site for the Middle Bronze in the Levant. During this period a new burial custom appeared in which the dead were interred beneath occupied houses. This tradition is well attested in Area K at the site. Area H, near the palatial complex, revealed a monumental masonry‐constructed chamber tomb. This article presents the results of residue analysis conducted on ceramic vessels placed in these tombs as burial offerings. Hun…

Opium trade and use during the Late Bronze Age
Organic residue analysis was conducted on various vessels from burials at Tel Yehud, Israel. The analyses led to new reliable evidence for the presence of opioid alkaloids and their decomposition products. This research revitalizes a decades‐old discussion on the presence and function of the opium trade across a cultural region of utmost significance in the Ancient Near East and the use and role of Base‐Ring juglets during the Late Bronze Age IIA…

Life and death of four individuals in the destruction of the Late Bronze Age city of Azekah, Israel
In this article, we discuss the skeletal remains of four individuals discovered trapped below destruction debris of Building T2/627 at the site of Tel Azekah, Israel, dating to the late 12th Century BCE. Osteological analysis shows that these individuals suffered from anemia and other systemic illness during their lives. Patterns of musculoskeletal stress markers show that they were likely highly active; in the context of artifacts recovered from…

The Unique Specialised Economy of Judah under Assyrian Rule and its Impact on the Material Culture of the Kingdom
The geography of Judah is unique among the territorial kingdoms of the southern Levant, featuring four distinct regions with the potential for exploitation in different economic strategies. In the Iron IIB the vassal kingdom experienced a dramatic economic transformation directed by the Assyrian empire, from traditional Mediterranean subsistence to specialised economy based on its four zones: viticulture in the highlands, oleo-culture in the Shep…
Middle Bronze Age Jerusalem
The following paper presents the results of radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating of Middle Bronze Age (MB) contexts in Jerusalem. The dates, sampled with microarchaeology methods from three different locations along the eastern slopes of the city’s ancient core, reveal that Jerusalem was initially settled in the early phases of the period, with public architecture first appearing in the beginning of the 19th century BC and continued to develop until the 17…

In the Valley of the King
The author proposes that an unprecedented growth in the number of rural settlements around Jerusalem took place during the 7th century BCE and not, as has been broadly maintained, in the 8th century BCE. He also shows that the decrease in the number of sites in the transition to the Persian period is less dramatic than has previously been claimed. The author asserts that the large number of 7th century BCE sites around Jerusalem is the result of …
The Monumentality of Iron Age Jerusalem Prior to the 8th Century BCE
The article reviews the chrono-stratigraphy of the City of David ridge—the site traditionally considered as the location of Bronze and Iron Age Jerusalem. Several scholars have recently challenged this conventional view, arguing that the southeastern hill became part of the city only in the 8th century BCE. Five stratigraphic anchors are discussed in detail, including the finds from Kenyon’s Section A, remains surrounding the Gihon Spring and the…

Metalworking at H azor
The temporal and spatial distribution of metal production remains from H azor was used in this study to sketch the development of metalworking (bronze, iron and silver) at this important site. The remains attest to a long sequence of metalworking at H azor, from the M iddle B ronze A ge through to the I ron A ge, and significantly highlight the transition from bronze to iron production and the mode of bronze production after the transition had be…
The Late Bronze Egyptian Estate at Aphek
When it was first uncovered, the excavators dubbed Building 1104 at Tel Aphek the 'Egyptian governor's residence'—a designation some scholars have challenged. Since then, questions have been raised concerning the role played by the residence and the ethnic identity of its inhabitants: To what extent were the house and those who lived in it Egyptian? If a governor did indeed live there, what and exactly whom did he govern? If written sources descr…

The paper attempts to integrate the study of the manufacture, function and discard of chalices from three sites in Philistia in order to form a coherent ‘life-cycle story’ of this vessel type. The analyses include examination of the sources of the ceramic raw material using petrography; study of the modes of manufacture, employing visual inspection and ethnographic data; and examination of the function of these vessels, using organic residue anal…
The Royal Judahite Storage Jar
The paper presents an objective, repeatable and independent computergenerated typology of the iron Age II Oval Storage Jar (OSJ), also known as the lmlk or Royal Judahite Storage Jar. It demonstrates that this jar was in use from the late 9th to the early 6th century BCe and that it was distributed beyond the confines of the Judahite administrative system. The OSJ first appeared as a local phenomenon that was limited to the Shephelah, with no par…
Palace and Village, Paradise and Oblivion
Tel Ramat Ra?el, located halfway between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, holds the key to understanding much of the political, economic, and social history of Judah during the Iron, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Early Islamic periods. Yohanan Aharoni’s excavations at the site between 1954 and 1962 began the process of unraveling the site’s millennial secrets, but his reports were preliminary, and he left many issues unresolved. In 2005, Od…
The Faunal Evidence from Early Roman Jerusalem
This is a study of the animal remains from the Early Roman period landfill in the “City of David” ridge, the largest assemblage of fauna published from Jerusalem. The research includes both a zooarchaeological and taphonomical study and has a twofold objective: first, to understand landfill site formation processes and the activities related to it; and second, to examine the social and religious identity of the inhabitants of the different sector…

Aphek in the Sharon and the Philistine Northern Frontier
Since Philistine finds were first discovered at sites such as Tel Qasile and Tel Gerisa along the Yarkon River, the central sector of Israel's coastal plain has been viewed as part of Philistine territory. Chronologically, it has been established that these sites were settled later than sites located in the heartland of Philistia (mainly Ashdod, Tel Miqne, and Ashkelon). Our knowledge of the Philistine settlement expansion is relatively limited, …

The Formation of Terraced Landscapes in the Judean Highlands in Israel, and its Implications for Biblical Agricultural History
The construction of terraces for dry farming constitutes a major technological innovation in the history of agriculture, allowing for the exploitation of previously uncultivated slopes and expanding the carrying capacity of the land. The terracing of the highlands of Judea and Samaria is traditionally associated with the settlement of the »Israelites«. In this article we present the results of a terrace dating project in the highlands of Jerusale…
Animal Economy in a Temple City and Its Countryside
