Wide Lens in Archaeology: Honoring Brian Hesse's Contributions to Anthropological Archaeology
Puppy Sacrifice and Cynophagy from Early Philistine Tel Miqne-Ekron Contextualized
The discovery of a sacrificed puppy at Tel Miqne-Ekron, a major Philistine settlement in Israel's southern coastal plain, highlights the role of dogs in Iron I Philistia. Though dog sacrifice is described in Hittite religious texts and attested in lands bordering the Aegean during the second–first millennia BCE, evidence for this practice, or even of dog bones, is largely absent from Late Bronze and non-Philistine Iron I (ca. 1550–1000 BCE) Levan…

The Wide Lens in Archaeology
This book honors the memory of Brian Hesse, a scholar of Near Eastern archaeology, a writer of alliterative and punned publication titles, and an accomplished amateur photographer. Hesse specialized in zooarchaeology, but he influenced a wider range of excavators and ancient historians with his broad interpretive reach. He spent much of his career analyzing faunal materials from different countries in the Middle East-including Iran, Yemen, and Is…

Animal Secondary Products: Domestic Animal Exploitation in Prehistoric Europe, the Near East and the Far East
The volume's focus is on how, when, where and to what extent animals came to be exploited for so-called “secondary products,” that is, mainly those things we use animals for other than hides, furs and flesh. The list of such products includes milk (and other dairy products), hair (with wool being one form), traction (pulling plows and wheeled or unwheeled vehicles) and dung (either for fertilizer or hearth fuels in relatively treeless places). Th…

Measuring Local Diversity in Early Iron Age Animal Economies: A View from Khirbat al-Mudayna al-ʿAliya (Jordan)
We use faunal evidence from Khirbat al-Mudayna al-ʿAliya, an agropastoral settlement located in west-central Jordan, to examine early Iron Age subsistence regimes. Analysis of faunal evidence reveals a low-intensity, nonspecialized animal economy dependent on both domesticated and wild species, including freshwater crabs. The subsistence economy of the settlement, we argue, was structured so as to take maximum advantage of its location overlookin…
The Constitution of Philistine Identity: Ethnic Dynamics in Twelfth to Tenth Century Philistia
The process and date of the Philistine settlement in Canaan have received a great deal of scholarly attention. As well, scholars have also devoted much attention to the expansion of Philistine interaction with Levantine societies prior to the Philistines' assimilation in the late Iron Age. While most studies view Philistine integration and acculturation as a gradual process, a close examination of the detailed faunal and ceramic evidence suggests…

A Bone of Contention? Iron Age IIA Notched Scapulae from Tell eṣ-Ṣâfī/Gath, Israel
Notched animal scapulae (shoulder blades) are one of the most enigmatic aspects of the material culture of the Iron Age Levant. Discussions of their chronology, regional distribution, function, and cultural significance appear frequently in studies concerning the culture of the Sea Peoples in Cyprus and the southern Levant. However, the available data has never been analyzed in a comprehensive manner, and many of its aspects remain obscure. This …
