An Iron Age Stone Toilet Seat (the ‘Throne of Solomon’) from Captain Montagu Brownlow Parker’s 1909–1911 Excavations in Jerusalem
This paper reconstructs the history of the publications relating to the results of Captain Montagu Brownlow Parker’s 1909–1911 excavations in Jerusalem, comprising the English and French versions of the book Underground Jerusalem by Père Louis-Hugues Vincent, and four articles by that same author appearing in the pages of Revue Biblique. The significant part played by the English translator, Theodore Andrea Cook, is shown, and as it transpires, h…
Common and Uncommon Jewish Purity Concerns in City and Village in Early Roman Palestine and the Flourishing of the Stone Vessel Industry: A Summary and Discussion
A stone vessel industry existed in early Roman Palestine (first century CE ), and many of these utensils were either hand-carved or made on a lathe. The stone vessels were part of the tableware within Jewish households from different socio-economic levels of society in cities and villages. This research indicates that stone vessels were not as “common” in Jewish settlements of that time as has previously been thought. The article’s purpose is to …
The Woman in the Pith Helmet
This volume celebrates the career of Norma Franklin, an archaeologist who has made important contributions to our understanding of the three key cities of Samaria, Megiddo, and Jezreel in the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the Iron Age. The sixteen essays offered herein by Franklin’s colleagues in archaeology and biblical studies are a fitting tribute to the woman in the pith helmet: an indomitable field archaeologist who describes herself as …

A Note on an Iron Age Four-Horned Altar From Tel Dothan
In a recent visit to the site of Tel Dothan the top of a four-horned stone altar of Iron Age type was unexpectedly observed among the structural remains exposed by Joseph P. Free in Area L of his excavations of the late 1950s. Owing to the location of this find within a well-dated building complex (labelled ‘House 14 ’) it can be dated with some certainty to the early Iron Age IIa, i.e. to the 9th century BCE. Dated four-horned stone altars from …

The Retrograde-F-Shaped yh(d) Monogram: Epigraphy and Dating
This article establishes the date of the stamp impressions with a retrograde-F-shaped yh(d) monogram in the late Hellenistic period, based on a clearly-stratified deposit of pottery vessels sealed at the bottom of a reservoir at ancient Suba (Kibbutz Tzova). The paper discusses the palaeography of the stamp impression, proposes a new reading, proffers a new theory on the shape of the seal or die used—all within the general analysis of the diverse…
The Chalcolithic in the Central Highlands of Palestine: A Reassessment Based on a New Examination of Khirbet es-Sauma'a
Major formative socio-economic changes occurred during the Chalcolithic period (c. 4500-3600 BC) in the southern Levant, including the beginnings of metallurgy, intensified craft production, new mortuary practices and elaborated iconographic and symbolic expression. Although a mosaic of regional groups are located within discrete geophysical zones, much of our knowledge of these transformations derives from survey and excavation in a few core are…
