In 1912, R. A. S. Macalister published reports on his PEF
excavations at Tell Gezer in central Israel, including notice of
having traced more than 1,400 meters (almost a full mile) of
defense walls around the site. Now, a century later, a detailed
reassessment of these fortifications is provided in the publication
of Gezer VII: The Middle Bronze and Later Fortifications in Fields
II, IV, and VIII, edited by Joe D. Seger and James W. Hardin. This
volume features work at Gezer sponsored by Hebrew Union College and
Harvard University between 1968 and 1974, reporting on excavations
at Macalister’s “Southern Gate” (Field IV) and along his
“Inner” and “Outer” wall systems both on the southern
(Field II) and northern (Field VIII) flanks of the site. These
excavations produced much new data, enabling a confident dating of
the Southern Gate complex and the Inner Wall system to the latter
part of the Middle Bronze period (1700–1500 B.C.E.) and of the
Outer Wall to the Late Bronze II and subsequent Hellenistic eras.
Among a rich array of cultural remains, intramural occupation of
the Middle Bronze Age yielded a gold jewelry hoard and early
evidence of alphabetic writing.
