Phoenician Cedar Oil from Amphoriskoi at Tel Kedesh
Archaeologists and historians have routinely attributed “branded” goods to particular regions and cultural groups, often without rigorous analysis. Phoenician cedar oil is perhaps one of the best-known examples from antiquity. Hellenistic Tel Kedesh in the Upper Galilee region of the Levant is particularly relevant for these discussions by virtue of its strategic role as a border settlement in Phoenicia during one of the most dynamic periods in a…
A Persian Period Bulla from Tel Qedesh, Israel, and Its Implications for Relations between Tyre and Nippur
In the 1999 season of excavation at Tel Qedesh, in northern Israel, a small, perfectly intact stamped bulla dating to the Persian period was found. The bulla originally sealed a papyrus document. Thanks to its excellent preservation, it is possible to identify a series of key aspects of the object: the motif and type of seal used to stamp it, the way the bulla was created, and even the way in which the original document was folded and tied. These…
A New Administrative Center for Persian and Hellenistic Galilee
We present the main findings of three excavation seasons at Kedesh. At the southern end of the lower mound we have uncovered an enormous Hellenistic building (56 m east-west by 40 m north-south), abandoned shortly after the middle of the second century B. C. E. and built over a Persian-period predecessor. The size, internal fittings, and especially the finds of the Hellenistic building-including on archive represented by 2043 stamped clay sealing…

The Orientation of Greek Temples
A first glance the question of the orientation of Greek temples seems a simple one, hardly worth discussing; every new student of Classical archaeology learns from the handbooks that Greek temples, with very few exceptions, all face east. The explanations of this phenomenon are various but generally assume that the position of the sun plays an important role in the siting of Greek temples and, by inference, in Greek religion and ritual. So widely…
