During the last decade substantive changes have occurred in the way
that archaeology is conducted in the 'Holy Land' as indeed
throughout the Near East but one thing never seems to change:
archaeology in Israel/Palestine always takes on a political
dimension.This book tells the story of the creation of Israeli
Archaeology in the 1950s and early 1960s. Unlike other books on the
archaeology of the 'holy-land', it isn't just a chronological
parade of important excavations and nice finds, but a history of
intrigues, budgets, failures and, above all, dreams. The book is
based on documentary material, often from obscure periodicals in
Hebrew, as well as thousands of original documents never published
before. It is the first large scale publication using preliminary
archival material about Israeli archaeology. It is also an
independent study that reflects the author's personal views.
