This text illuminates the long history of human activity in the
southern Levant and the long-standing connection between the Museum
of Art and Archaeology at the University of Missouri-Columbia and
the archaeology of the Palestinian region. Under the direction of
the Museum's founders, Drs. Saul and Gladys Weinberg, the Museum's
own pioneering excavations, particularly at Jamane and Tel Anafa,
are also highlighted. The objects detailed here range in date from
the fourth millennium B.C.E. to the eighth-century. C.E., and
encompass 2,500 years of epochs including the Bronze and Iron Ages,
as well as Persian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine influence. The
Weinbergs' tenure at the museum, followed by that of Dr. Jane
Biers, resulted in the acquisition of nearly 900 objects from the
Levant, attesting to the much wider scope of these three scholars'
interests. For the final publication, an impressive roster of
additional scholars contributed their expertise to various areas.
Illustrated with seventeen color plates and more than two hundred
black-and-white photos. Jane Biers is Adjunct Associate Professor
in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at the University
of Missouri-Columbia. James Terry is Assistant Professor of Art,
Stephens College.
