The Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF) is the oldest exploration
society of the Levant which is active today. Since its founding
meeting in 1865 in Westminster Abbey of London, the PEF scholars
have conducted systematic exploration of Jerusalem and the Holy
Land. Prominent archaeologists such as C.W. Wilson, C. Warren, C.
Schick, C. Conder, W.M.F Petrie, H. Kitchener, and R.A.S
Macalister, were sent to dig the Holy Land on behalf of the PEF. A
remarkable enterprise carried out by the PEF, in cooperation with
the Royal Engineers, was the first precise scientific survey of the
region - The Survey of the Western Palestine - which yielded the
pioneering high-quality detailed maps of the Holy Land. Marking the
150 years since the PEF emerged, the studies collected in this
volume provide a retrospective on the endeavours in the light of
the findings of the contemporary archaeological research.
