Response to Norma Franklin's Review
I appreciate the opportunity to respond to Franklin's review of my recent book, though I am disappointed that she did not see more value in it. We disagree on a number of decisions about the volume's contents, several interpretive questions, and readings of previous researchers' work. I will explain the logic behind my decisions below. Franklin has already offered her thoughts in the review above.Franklin begins by criticizing my inclusion of a b…
The Harvard Expedition to Samaria
The previously unpublished field diaries of the principal leaders involved in the first season of the Harvard Expedition to Samaria are held by the University’s Semitic Museum. The narrative they contain sheds light on the organization and archaeological techniques applied at the site and gives some context to the much acclaimed final publication of the excavations (Reisner, Fisher & Lyon, 1924)
TheTabula Peutingeriana
For studying ancient settlement patterns of borderland towns, one can hardly imagine a better topo-geographical arrangement than biblical Judah and Philistia, where multiple east-west valley systems spawned ancient roadways that connected the various areas. That one such passageway (recorded on a Late Roman map) ran from Ashkelon through the Naḥal Guvrin, passed Tel Zayit to Beth Guvrin, and continued into the hill country of Judah afforded Tel Z…
An Abecedary of the Mid-Tenth Century B.C.E. from the Judaean Shephelah
Near the conclusion of the 2005 excavation season at Tel Zayit, Israel, the Zeitah Excavations recovered a large stone bearing an incised, two-line inscription. The special importance of the stone derives not only from its archaic alphabetic text (a 22-letter abecedary), but also from its well-defined archaeological context in a structure dating securely to the tenth century B.C.E. The borderland site of Tel Zayit lies in the lowlands district of…

Recent Interpretations of Ancient Israelite Religion
There is, perhaps, no more challenging undertaking than the attempt to describe in detail the religion of ancient Israel. This situation results not only from the complexities inherent in that religion and its attendant cult but also from the myriad of methodologies and disciplines through which scholars have filtered the subject matter. Recent assessments of the efficacy of both specialized and more wide-ranging approaches have suggested serious…

The 1998 Preliminary Survey of Khirbet Zeitah el-Kharab (Tel Zayit) in the Shephelah of Judah
The near 30-dunam site of Khirbet Zeitah el-Kharab (Tel Zayit), with a principal habitation area of just under 3 acres, lies in the strategic Beth Guvrin Valley, approximately 7 km north and 2 km west of Lachish and 30 km east of Ashkelon. Prior to beginning full-scale excavations sponsored by Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (summer 1999), a preliminary site survey was completed in 1998. This article reports the survey results and describes the p…
