This is the story of the landfill that operated in Jerusalem during
the first century CE and served as its garbage dump during the ca.
50-year period that followed Jesus’s crucifixion through to the
period that led to the great revolt of the Jews just prior to the
city’s destruction. The book presents an extensive investigation
of hundreds of thousands of items that were systematically
excavated from the thick layers of landfill. It brings together
experts who conducted in-depth studies of every sort of material
discarded as refuse—ceramic, metal, glass, bone, wood, and more.
This research presents an amazing and tantalizing picture of daily
life in ancient Jerusalem, and how life was shaped and regulated by
strict behavioral rules (halacha). The book also explores why
garbage was collected in Jerusalem in so strict a manner and why
the landfill operated for only about 50 years. Half a century of
garbage from Early Roman–period Jerusalem provides an abundance
of new data and new insights into the ideological choices and new
religious concepts emerging and developing among those living in
Jerusalem at this critical moment. It is an eye-opener for
archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, and theologians, as
well as for the general reader.
