The emergence of Israel in Canaan is perhaps the most debated topic
in biblical/Syro-Palestinian archaeology and related fields,
Accordingly, it has received a great deal of attention in recent
years, both in scholarly literature and in popular publications.
Generally speaking, however, the archaeology of ancient Israel is
wedged in a paradoxical situation. Despite the large existing
database of archaeological finds from thousands of excavations
conducted over an extremely limited area, scholars in this
(sub)discipline typically do not engage in theoretical
(anthropological) discussions, thus exposing a large gap between it
and other branches of archaeology. Numerous
archaeologically-oriented studies of Israelite ethnicity are still
conducted largely in the spirit of the culture history school, and
are absent of thorough reference to the work of more recent
critics, which, at best, make a selected appearance in these
analyses. Israel's Ethnogenesis provides an
anthropologically-oriented perspective to the discussion of
Israel's ethnogenesis. This monograph incorporates detailed
archaeological data and relevant textual sources within an
anthropological framework. Moreover, it contributes to the
archeology of ethnicity, a field which currently attracts
significant attention from archaeologists and anthropologists all
over the world. Making use of an unparalleled archaeological
database from ancient Israel, this volume has much to offer to the
ongoing debate over the nature of ethnicity in general, and to the
understudied question of how ethnic groups evolve (ethnogenesis),
in particular.
