In the Wake of the Amos Quake: The Fortifications of Jerusalem in the Mid-8th Century BCE
Evidence of Worship in the Rock-Cut Rooms on the Eastern Slope of the City of David, Jerusalem
This paper presents the finds retrieved from a unique series of rock-cut rooms found on the eastern slope of the City of David. These rock-cut rooms stand out in terms of their architectural features, as well as the artifacts discovered within them, all of which reflect on their function as a cultic complex, likely constructed in the Middle Bronze Age, with its final stage in Iron Age IIB. This complex offers profound evidence for the diversity o…
The Head of All Those Villages: The Urban Nature of Jerusalem during the Middle Bronze Age Reconsidered
This article reconsiders the urban character of Middle Bronze Age Jerusalem, as it was presumed by past scholarship. Instead, Jerusalem's character is investigated through the examination of modes of integration and interaction, to create a more holistic picture of the social fabric in the site, and in its region. For this purpose, published MBA remains from Ancient Jerusalem and from the MBA II-III rural site of Nahal Repha'im are presented, and…
Middle Bronze Age Jerusalem: Recalculating Its Character and Chronology
The following paper presents the results of radiocarbon ( 14 C) dating of Middle Bronze Age (MB) contexts in Jerusalem. The dates, sampled with microarchaeology methods from three different locations along the eastern slopes of the city’s ancient core, reveal that Jerusalem was initially settled in the early phases of the period, with public architecture first appearing in the beginning of the 19th century BC and continued to develop until the 17…
Wood Economy in Early Roman Period Jerusalem
In this study we present the identification of several Early Roman (63 b.c.e.–70 c.e.) charred wood assemblages, collected from the “Lower City” of Jerusalem. The results outline elements in Jerusalem’s nearby woody vegetation, characterized by a mosaic of native Mediterranean maquis-forest species and olive orchards, and possibly pine and cypress stands. The arboreal surrounding of Jerusalem supplied the city with pruned olive branches and other…
