In this rich and elegantly presented interdisciplinary study, the
theme is the impact of iron technology on the material and cultural
life of ancient Israel. The author argues that iron itself and the
processes of ironworking functioned as dominant cultural symbols,
conveying meanings about significant transformations that
established Israel's social and religious identity. This
wide-ranging monograph is particularly valuable for its integration
of material about ironworking in traditional African societies,
anthropological theories on symbolism and archaeological
information on the development of iron technology in the Near
East.>
