Archaeology and History
Faynan, Nomads and the Western Negev in the Early Iron Age: A Critical Reappraisal
The final report on the Edom Lowlands Regional Archaeology Project concludes that local nomadic tribes created a complex polity at early Iron Age Faynan, in southern Jordan, that was responsible for a radical shift in copper production to an industrial scale. Erez Ben-Yosef has subsequently used these conclusions as the key example in a theoretical argument about the social complexityand, usually, archaeological invisibilityof nomadic societies. …
The Origin and Character of God: Ancient Israelite Religion through the Lens of Divinity, Yahweh before Israel: Glimpses of History in a Divine Name and Yahweh: Origin of a Desert God
The question of the origins of Yahweh, ancient Israel’s deity, has never lost its position as one of the most important pursuits of biblical scholarship. During recent years, however, there has been a true explosion of research on the genesis of Yahwism, with at least ten books and edited volumes integrally dedicated to the topic. Here, I aim to discuss three of these works, written by Theodore Lewis, Daniel Fleming, and Robert Miller II, purpose…
The Archaeology of Cult of Ancient Israel’s Southern Neighbors and the Midianite-Kenite Hypothesis
The Midianite-Kenite hypothesis, the idea that the pre-Israelite roots of Yahwism can be traced back to the areas south and southeast of Palestine, has a long pedigree in biblical scholarship. Analyses supporting this view generally agree in three main points. First, they assume that the influence of the southern cultic practices on Yahwism occurred during a restricted period of time, traditionally dated to the Early Iron Age. Second, they see th…
A Reassessment of the Chronology of the Iron Age site of Khirbet en-Nahas, Southern Jordan
The chronology of Khirbet en-Nahas, a large Iron Age archaeological site located in the copper mining region of Faynan, southern Jordan, has been under fierce debate for the last 15 years. Since the site was excavated in 2002–2009, several analyses challenged the excavators’ interpretation of the stratigraphy, the results of the radiocarbon data and its dating. However, so far none of these challenges considered the final report published in 2014…
Revolución en el desierto: Una reevaluación de la Edad del Bronce Tardío y el Hierro Temprano en el noroeste de Arabia y el sur del Levante
Los cambios sociales que se produjeron en el noroeste de Arabia y en el sur del Levante árido entre mediados del segundo y principios del primer milenio a.n.e. fueron tan profundos que pueden caracterizarse, tomando prestada la terminología de Steven Rosen, como una “revolución en el desierto”. Este artículo explorará las evidencias arqueológicas y epigráficas de la Edad del Bronce Tardío y de la Edad del Hierro Temprano en el Hejaz, el Negev, el…
Memories of humiliation, cultures of resentment towards Edom and the formation of ancient Jewish national identity
While the impact of wars and national humiliations in the ancient Jewish cultural nationalism has been studied extensively, little has been written about the role of the related phenomena of cultures of resentment against foreigners or minority groups. Well before the Hellenistic period, the Jewish tradition had already created its own perfect enemy whose very name became synonymous of Israel's most malicious antagonist: Edom. This article aims t…
Complex Communities: The Archaeology of Early Iron Age West-Central Jordan
Nacionalismo judío y retórica antiedomita en la antigüedad
En 586 a.n.e. el ejército babilónico de Nabucodonosor tomó la ciudad de Jerusalén, y el consiguiente saqueo, incendio y destrucción son aún recordados como el epítome de toda catástrofe nacional. La mayoría de los historiadores que han estudiado el tema, siguiendo lo relatado principalmente por las fuentes bíblicas, han cargado el peso de la culpa en los babilonios por la devastación de Jerusalén. Existen, sin embargo, algunos pasajes de la Bibli…
Pottery Makers and Premodern Exchange in the Fringes of Egypt: An Approximation to the Distribution of Iron Age Midianite Pottery
This paper aims to study the distribution of Midianite pottery, a ware that was manufactured in the Hejaz and spread over the Negev (most notably Ramesside Timna), southern Palestine, and southern-central Jordan during the Iron Age. The admittedly meagre evidence from local sites suggests that the context of discovery is of particular significance. Since Midianite wares appear consistently in cultic contexts, administrative buildings and burial o…
Assyrians, Judaeans, Pastoral Groups, and the Trade Patterns in the Late Iron Age Negev
This article gives a current reassessment of the evidence of trade between the Negev, Edom, and the Mediterranean in the Late Iron Age. To determine the characteristics of this trade pattern, textual (Assyrian, Biblical) and archaeological data – especially the distribution of Edomite wares in the Negev – are used to propose a model in which trade was controlled by the local nomadic pastoral groups
