Middle Bronze Age copper smelting in the Wadi Arabah
A Unique Assemblage of Late Islamic Magical Artifacts from Netafim 2
Many remains of the Muslim pilgrimage road from Cairo to Mecca, the Darb al-Hajj al-Maṣri are preserved in the Eilat region of southern Israel. These include sections of the road, camps, and other associated structures. Most of these remains date to the Mamluk and Ottoman periods. In one camp (Netafim 2), an assemblage of unusual objects was found, including fragmentary clay rattles, votive clay incense burners, anthropomorphic and perhaps zoomor…

Prehistoric Cult Sites along the Desert Roads
The Negev desert, the southern half of Israel, is an arid-to-hyper-arid region. Despite that, some 13,000 ancient sites have been recorded here to date, and many were excavated. One characteristic of the Negev (as well as of other deserts) is the abundance of prehistoric and early historic cult sites, dated ca. 8000-2000 BCE. Another is the many ancient roads. The roads, the main types of cult sites and the connection between them are described a…
The Desert’s Role in the Formation of Early Israel and the Origin of Yhwh
The origin of ancient Israel has been questioned and intensively discussed for almost two centuries by many researchers, from two main schools of thought. One believes the early Israelites came from outside the Land of Cana‘an and conquered it, while the other believes they rose from within Cana‘an, forming a new polity and culture. Scholars are likewise divided whether the Israelite God, Yhwh, originated from the Near Eastern cultural environmen…
Hunting in the skies
Cet article présente les résultats de la première saison de fouilles menées sur le site montagneux de Naḥal Roded 110, situé dans le sud du désert du Néguev près d'Eilat, en Israël. Les datations 14 C et par luminescence datent toutes deux le site de la fin du Néolithique acéramique B (LPPNB, fin du 8 e millénaire av. J.-C.). Les données paléo-environnementales extraites des traces de pollen et de charbon de bois indiquent que des conditions arid…

Protohistoric Developments of Religion and Cult in the Negev Desert
The Negev Desert has a rich variety of cult types that can be dated back as long as 9,000 years ago. The article focuses on the types that were dominant in the seventh to third millennia BCE, including standing stone maṣṣebot, open-air sanctuaries, burial grounds and ‘Rodedian’ sites. Descriptions and interpretations of where these cult types enable a comprehensive view in which desert societies reveal intensive cultic activity and fully-develope…

"Use of Terrestrial Laser Scans for High-Resolution Documentation and 3D Modeling of "Desert Kites
Over 3,000 Desert Kites are known in Southwest Asia. However, most are known only by the study of Google Earth images, and the majority have never been visited or surveyed by foot or thoroughly documented. The high-resolution documentation of such constructions is imperative but limited in many cases, due to the harsh conditions and the use of local undressed stones for building. We introduce here the use of a LiDAR scanner and its contribution t…

A rock inscription mentioning Thaʿlaba, an Arab king from Ghassān
This article is the edition and commentary of an inscription discovered some time ago in the area of Eilat. It is written in a script that is transitional between Nabataean and Arabic, is presumably dated to the late fifth century AD and mentions an Arab king
Fourth-millennium-BC 'leopard traps' from the Negev Desert (Israel)
Stone-built installations known as 'leopard traps' are found throughout the deserts of the Middle East. They have generally been considered to be recent in date, and to have been built by Bedouin or other local communities to trap carnivores that threatened their flocks. But how much older might they be? Survey in the hyper-arid 'Uvda Valley of the southern Negev Desert in Israel discovered 23 'leopard traps', 19 of them clustered in a relatively…
Mass Hunting Game Traps in the Southern Levant
Spread throughout the deserts of the southern Levant are numerous triangular-shaped stone structures known as kites. Ancient kites are built of two long converging low stone walls with a circular enclosure at the apex. The enclosure can range from a few meters to 100 meters in diameter, and the walls may extend for hundreds of meters or even several kilometers. These well-preserved structures provide testimony to the magnitude of the systematic m…
Desert kites in the Negev desert and northeast Sinai
Walls, ramps and pits
Archaeological investigations of 'desert kites' in south Israel show them to have been animal traps of considerable sophistication and capacity, constructed in the Early Bronze Age or earlier. Extensive stone-wall arms gather in gazelles from their habitual trails and canalise them into a sunken enclosure, cunningly hidden from view of the galloping herd until it was too late

Settlement Patterns in the Southern Levant Deserts During the 6th–3rd Millennia BC
Archaeological surveys conducted in the Negev and Sinai during the 20th century were commonly interpreted as representing short settlement periods interrupted by long gaps. The time factor was usually based on archaeological estimates rather than comprehensive physical dating. For example, the perceived age and time duration of “hole-mouth” pottery sherds and tabular flint scrapers became a source of circular reasoning to “date” sites and their “…

Significance of Gold Exploitation in the Early Islamic Period, Israel
Abstracts of the 14th International Radiocarbon Conference
Experiments were started in 1984 at the Geological Survey of Finland (GSF) with a new 14C dating system that consists of a passive shield of 90-year-old iron, a liquid-scintillation anticoincidence guard and three CO2 proportional counters of conventional size. The counting room is an air- conditioned Faraday cage constructed of limestone concrete
