  • Cemetery or sacrifice? Infant burials at the Carthage Tophet

    Open AccessPatricia Smith, Lawrence E Stager et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2013Citada por: 4Referencias: 18

    The recent article on the Carthage Tophet infants by Schwartzet al.(2012) takes issue with our paper (Smithet al.2011) that claims the Carthaginians practiced infant sacrifice. Both studies were carried out on the same sample of cremated infant remains excavated by the ASOR Punic project between 1975 and 1980 (Stager 1982). We examined the contents of 334 urns while Schwartzet al.(2012) examined the same sample plus an additional fourteen urns (N…

  • Aging cremated infants

    Open AccessPatricia Smith, Gal Avishai et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2011Citada por: 8Referencias: 18

    The Greeks and Romans reproached the Phoenicians for the sacrifice of infants, and the excavation of cremated infants at 'Tophets' (named after the sacrificial site in Jerusalem mentioned in the Bible) seems to bear this out. However, the argument for infant sacrifice depends largely on a skewed age profile, and age is not easy to determine. The authors approach this problem with a battery of new techniques, showing that in the Tophet of Carthage…

  • Iron Age Shipwrecks in Deep Water off Ashkelon, Israel

    Robert D Ballard, Lawrence E Stager et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Archaeology2002Citada por: 10

    In 1997, two shipwrecks were first discovered in the Mediterranean Sea west of Israel by the U.S. Navy's research Submarine NR-1. Further investigation in 1999 with the remotely operated vehicle system Medea/Jason found the wrecks to be from the eighth century B.C., the earliest known shipwrecks to be found in the deep sea. Both ships appear to be of Phoenician origin, laden with cargoes of fine wine destined for either Egypt or Carthage, when th…

  • Shemer's Estate

    Lawrence E StagerARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…1990

    The Joint Expedition to Samaria dated bedrock installations to Early Bronze I and postulated a gap in occupation until the early ninth century B. C., when King Omri established his capital there. It is suggested that the score of olive- and winepresses cut into the bedrock summit were really part of Shemer's (or better, the Shomron family's) estate, which had been in the family since at least Iron I and included not only the center for processing…

  • The Archaeology of the Family in Ancient Israel

    Lawrence E StagerARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…1985

    Longterm trends are examined for the population mass that occupied the central highlands of Palestine during the Iron Age. After 1200 B. C. the landscape of this sparsely populated "frontier" changed as newcomers established hilltop villages, cultivated intermontane valleys, and terraced the slopes. Spatial patterning within villages and certain toponyms were influenced by patrilineal kinship. Heads of household and their lineage mates exercised …

  • A metropolitan landscape

    Henry Hurst, Lawrence E StagerARTICLEWorld Archaeology1977Citada por: 20Referencias: 8

    Study of the sequences of environmental change and human occupation in the vicinity of the Late Punic port of Carthage shows the two harbours of the city besieged by Scipio to be man‐made and, in their fully developed form, dating only from the late fourth or third century b.c. There is further archaeological and historical evidence to suggest that the siting of a port in this area may be associated with a fourth‐century expansion of the urban ar…
