This seventh volume of final reports of the Lahav Research
Project’s efforts at Tell Halif in Southern Israel focuses on the
team’s excavations and related regional ethnographic research at
adjacent Khirbet Khuweilifeh, an early twentieth-century settlement
of Bedouin and Arab fellahin clients. These efforts illustrate the
symbiosis between the itinerant Bedouin and their seasonal
sharecropper neighbors along the northern flanks of the Negev
desert during and following the First World War in southern
Palestine. The stratigraphic excavation and recovery of material
culture from Cave Complex A revealed a pattern of occupation dating
from the late nineteenth century C.E. up to the mid-1940s and
produced hundreds of artifacts and samples, giving testimony to the
lifeways of the fellahin who had inhabited the complex. The
associated ethnographic research with Bedouin sheikhs and
Hebron-area merchant informants established that the Complex’s
most recent occupants were the family of a plow maker named Khalil
al-Kaayke. The studies elucidated in this volume articulate in more
detail the family’s patterns of subsistence, showing the
interdependence of the Bedouin and fellahin partners. Examination
of the pottery remains provides a profile of the site’s Stratum
I, early twentieth-century ceramic forms and also reveals earlier
Islamic-period and pre-Islamic traces. Over the past century the
lifeways of these early twentieth-century Bedouin and their
fellahin village neighbors in southern Palestine have been rapidly
disappearing. This volume serves to chronicle and preserve data on
their waning history and culture.
