Thirteen essays on the Iron Age in Israel and Jordan, covering
settlement patterns, iconography, cult, palaeography and the
archaeology of certain key sites. This volume offers an
exceptionally informed update in a fast-moving area of discovery
and interpretation. The first section deals with spatial
archaeology and settlement patterns, all the papers based on the
fieldwork by A. Zertal in Samaria, A. Ofer in Judah, G. Lehmann in
the Akko Plain, and S. Gibson in various areas in the hill country
of Israel. The second section covers religion and iconography. The
two single Iron Age temples known today in Israel, at Dan and Arad,
are discussed by A. Biran and Z. Herzog. R. Kletter and K. Prag
discuss clay figurines and other cult objects; T. Ornan identifies
Ishtar on a number of seals and on a silver pendant; and N.
Franklin examines the iconography and meaning of the wall relief in
Room V at Sargon's palace in Khorsabad. The last section includes
three studies related to specific sites. M. Steiner considers urban
development in Jerusalem during Iron Age II; A. Mazar presents data
from Iron Age II Beth Shean, and P. Bienkowski and L. Sedman
discuss finds from Buseirah, the capital of Edom.
