The land of Israel is rich in history and material culture and has
long been the location of extensive archaeological excavation.
'Just Past?' examines the origins of Israeli archaeology in the
1950s and 1960s. Drawing on previously unpublished documentary
material, the study offers a history of intriguing finds, failures
and dreams. 'Just Past?' covers a range of topics, from the 1948
war to the Israel Department of Antiquities and Museums, issues of
foreign aid, and the political circumstances behind the decision to
start excavations at Masada. Highlighting the centrality of
politics to archaeology in Israel/Palestine, 'Just Past?' presents
an assessment of the origins of Israeli archaeology which will be
invaluable to students and scholars of history and archaeology.
