  • Resettling the Ruins: Hazor after the Destruction of 732 b.c.e.

    Pnina Torn Broers, Débora Sandhaus et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the American Society…2026

    Tiglath-Pileser III’s campaign to the southern Levant left many cities destroyed, among them Hazor. It is commonly believed that the site was transformed into an Assyrian administrative center. This article challenges this assumption by presenting new evidence and re-evaluating previously published evidence, shedding light on the immediate post-destruction period but also enhancing our understanding of the Assyrian occupation in the north. It sug…

  • The Iron Age Inner City Gate and Gate Shrine at Tel Lakhish (Lachish)

    Saar Ganor, Sa‘ar Ganor et al.ARTICLEAtiqot2024

    An excavation carried out on the southern side of the six-chambered inner gatehouse at Lakhish exposed the gate passage, four piers and three chambers. The eastern chamber comprised two rooms, with a cultic niche in one of the room’s back wall and an altar in front of it. The chamber probably served as a gate shrine, and was desecrated during Hezekiah’s cult reform, when a toilet seat was placed next to the altar and the altar horns were trimmed.…

  • In the Footsteps of Albright: The Renewed Excavations at Tell Beit Mirsim

    Igor Kreimerman, Itamar Weissbein et al.ARTICLENear Eastern Archaeology2023References: 20

    Tell Beit Mirsim in the Judean Shephelah was excavated by William F. Albright and Melvin G. Kyle in the 1920s and 1930s. These excavations established the relative chronology for the entire southern Levant because of good preservation conditions, facilitated by the multiple destruction layers at the site, and thanks to Albright’s familiarity with pottery. Ninety years later, the excavations have been renewed with the aim of investigating the econ…

  • The Canaanite and Judean Cities of Lachish, Israel: Preliminary Report of the Fourth Expedition, 2013-2017

    Y Garfinkel, Michael G Hasel et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Archaeology2021Cited by: 9References: 24

    Ancient Lachish (Tell ed-Duweir) in southern Israel is a key site for understanding the Canaanite cultures of the Middle and Late Bronze Ages and the Kingdom of Judah in the Iron Age of the Levant. It has been intensively excavated since 1932 by a number of entities. This article presents the excavation results by the Fourth Expedition to Lachish in 2013-2017. Fieldwork focused on the site's northeastern corner, a neglected area believed to have …

  • An Eighth-Century b.c.e. Gate Shrine at Tel Lachish, Israel

    Saar Ganor, Sa‘ar Ganor et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…2019

    Excavations conducted on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority at Tel Lachish exposed the southern half of the six-chambered gate in Level III. In the eastern chamber, a gate shrine was uncovered. The shrine was split in two: a larger northern room and a smaller southern room. The southern room, which served as the holy of holies, had a niche in its southern wall in front of which a double altar was placed. Dozens of bowls and oil lamps were…

  • Lachish Fortifications and State Formation in the Biblical Kingdom of Judah in Light of Radiometric Datings

    Open AccessY Garfinkel, Michael G Hasel et al.ARTICLERadiocarbon2019Cited by: 13References: 15

    When and where the process of state formation took place in the biblical kingdom of Judah is heavily debated. Our regional project in the southwestern part of Judah, carried out from 2007 to the present, includes the excavation of three Iron Age sites: Khirbet Qeiyafa, Tel Lachish, and Khirbet al-Ra’i. New cultural horizons and new fortification systems have been uncovered, and these discoveries have been dated by 59 radiometric determinations. T…

  • The Late 4th/3rd Century BCE Transition in the Judean Hinterland in Light of the Pottery of Khirbet Qeiyafa

    Débora Sandhaus, Igor KreimermanARTICLETel Aviv2015References: 1

    Until recently, distinguishing between Late Persian and Early Hellenistic pottery assemblages in the Shephelah and the Hill Country of Judea was imprecise and somewhat elusive. Based on new numismatic data, two phases of Stratum III at Khirbet Qeiyafa can now be securely dated to this time span. Analysis of the respective pottery assemblages allows us for the first time to propose a clear distinction between the pottery of these two periods. Acco…
