The Moral Triangle: Germans, Israelis, Palestinians
Berlin is home to Europe's largest Palestinian diaspora community and one of the world's largest Israeli diaspora communities. Germany's guilt about the Nazi Holocaust has led to a public disavowal of anti-Semitism and strong support for the Israeli state. Meanwhile, Palestinians in Berlin report experiencing increasing levels of racism and Islamophobia. In The Moral Triangle Sa'ed Atshan and Katharina Galor draw on ethnographic fieldwork and int…
Curating Conflict: Four Exhibitions on Jerusalem
This article compares four Jerusalem exhibits in different geographical and political contexts: at the Tower of David Museum in Jerusalem, the Palestinian Museum in Birzeit, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Jewish Museum Berlin. It examines the role of heritage narrative, focusing specifically on the question of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is either openly engaged or alternatively avoided. In this regard, we specifi…
The Archaeology of Jerusalem: From the Origins to the Ottomans
In this sweeping and lavishly illustrated history, Katharina Galor and Hanswulf Bloedhorn survey nearly four thousand years of human settlement and building activity in Jerusalem, from prehistoric times through the Ottoman period. The study is structured chronologically, exploring the city’s material culture, including fortifications and water systems as well as key sacred, civic, and domestic architecture. Distinctive finds such as paintings, mo…
Jerusalem: Archaeologists Versus Residents
Very few cities are defined as much by their antiquities as Jerusalem: religiously, culturally, politically, and economically. Erasing the Old City, or at least part of it, as suggested variously by Theodor Herzl and David Ben-Gurion, would have been an act difficult to reverse. The ruins of the past are now recognized and protected as the city's most distinct physical and visual attribute, in which past and present landscapes mingle to project t…
Finding Jerusalem: Archaeology between Science and Ideology
Archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem capture worldwide attention in various media outlets. The continuing quest to discover the city’s physical remains is not simply an attempt to define Israel’s past or determine its historical legacy. In the context of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is also an attempt to legitimate—or undercut—national claims to sovereignty. Bridging the ever-widening gap between popular coverage and specialize…
Des femmes à Qumrân ? Entre textes et objets
La question du sexe des résidents du site de Qumrân a longtemps été ignorée, comme s'il allait de soi qu'une telle communauté ne pouvait compter que des hommes. Longtemps aussi les spécialistes ont raisonné en utilisant uniquement les textes des manuscrits trouvés dans les grottes de la mer Morte comme si les données matérielles fournies par les fouilles du site archéologique de Qumrân ne pouvaient leur être associées. Cet article entend analyser…
Archaeology of Jerusalem: From the Origins to the Ottomans
Unearthing Jerusalem: 150 Years of Archaeological Research in the Holy City
"On a cold winter morning in January of 1851, a small group of people approached the monumental facade of an ancient rock-cut burial cave located north of the Old City of Jerusalem. The team, consisting of two Europeans and a number of local workers, was led by Louis-Félicien Caignart de Saulcy descendant of a noble Flemish family who later was to become a distinguished member of the French parliament. As an amateur archaeologist and a devout Cat…

Apollonia-Arsuf between Past and Future
Domestic Architecture in Roman and Byzantine Galilee and Golan
Since the early 1970s, the Golan has become one of the most archaeologically studied areas in the region. The outstanding quality and quantity of the architectural remains of both private and public structures provides a vivid picture of life in the Jewish communities of northern Palestine from the time of Herod to the Arab conquest
