The series "Archaeology of the Biblical Worlds" is published in close connection with the Encyclopedia of the Bible and its Reception and is dedicated to archaeological topics relevant to the study of the biblical worlds. Research on the Bible is no longer confined to the analysis of textual sources. The examination of archaeological evidence has become increasingly important within Biblical Studies around the world. This series bridges Archaeology and Biblical Studies, bringing together scholars from both fields in order to encourage an interdisciplinary approach. The topics covered in this series will span the cultures in which the biblical texts were created and received, mostly but not exclusively in the eastern Mediterranean world. The time frame ranges from the Ancient Near East until the Middle Ages. The series will include monographs by single authors on synthetic topics, archaeological reports on excavations at relevant sites, and collections of studies on topical themes.

This book presents a study and catalogue of the early Christian stone architectural decorations from the Negev Desert (Israel). This work is based on the largest sample of decorated architectural elements from the Byzantine Negev (4th–7th century CE) to have been comparatively studied. The analysis provides a key for the characteristics of these aniconic, carved decorations, and an in-depth examination of their symbolic meaning.

The Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages of Southern Canaan

Aren M. Maeir, Itzhaq Shai, Chris McKinny

Band 2 in dieser Reihe

The Late Bronze Age in the Levant is a period of much interest to archaeologists, historians and biblical scholars. This is a period with intense international relations, rich in ancient sources, which provide historical data for the period, and is a crucial formative period for the peoples and cultures who play central roles in the Hebrew Bible. Recent archaeological research in Israel and surrounding countries has provided new, exciting, and in some cases, groundbreaking finds, interpretations and understanding of this period.
The fourteen papers in this volume represent the proceedings of a conference held at Bar-Ilan University in 2014 (with the additional of several invited papers not presented at the conference), which provide both overviews of Late Bronze Age finds from several important sites in Israel and surrounding countries, as well as several synthetic studies on the various issues relating to the period. These papers, by and large, represent a broad view of cuttting edge research in the archaeology of the ancient Levant in general, and on the Late Bronze Age specifically.
