Pre‐Excavation Identification and Dating of Iron Age Destruction Events
To maximize extracted data while minimizing excavated areas, archaeologists increasingly use archaeological surveys, geophysical surveys and remote sensing to gain comprehensive regional pictures and decide if and where to excavate. The goal of this effort is to leave sufficient unexcavated areas for future generations and save time and resources required for fieldwork. Standard pre‐excavation methods can neither securely identify nor date destru…
Shedding a Concealed Light
In this contribution, we examine the custom of depositing lamps concealed between two bowls in a practice that became prevalent in the Southern Levant during the Late Bronze Age and persisted into the early Iron Age. Through meticulous examination of eleven such deposits unearthed at Tel Azekah, we elucidate the chronological evolution of this practice and its constituent elements. This investigation prompts a discussion of the role of the practi…
Invisible destruction? Identifying microscopic evidence of destruction by fire in iron age structures in Jerusalem
The Babylonian Destruction of Jerusalem as a Symbol?
New excavation areas unearthed in Jerusalem in the last decade provide an oppor- tunity to reexamine the event of the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem and the interpretation of the archaeological evidence it left behind. In this article I present evidence for destruction from two new sites located in Ancient Jerusalem, highlight- ing the questions raised by it regarding the nature of the destruction. I then survey the evidence for the destruct…
Jerusalem in Transition - Decisive Moments in the Creation of Jerusalem in Reality and as a Myth
»Vielmehr bietet [der Kommentar] auf höchstem Niveau eine substantielle Auseinandersetzung mit den Hintergründen, den Zusammenhängen, der Theorie und der Praxis des Grundgesetzes. Besseres lässt sich von einem Verfassungskommentar nicht sagen.“ Herbert Günther Staaatsanzeiger für das Land Hessen 2018 (50), 1494–1495
Destruction by fire
New Evidence on the Location and Nature of Iron Age, Persian and Early Hellenistic Period Jerusalem
The article presents finds unearthed during the renewed excavations at the Giv>ati Parking Lot in the ‘City of David’, Jerusalem. The finds, which date from the late Iron Age to the Persian and Early Hellenistic periods, testify to the importance of the western slope of the City of David ridge in the city’s urban development. When water was transferred from the Gihon Spring to the Siloam Pool the significance of the rugged eastern slope of the ri…
