The study of food in the Hebrew Bible and Syro-Palestinian
archaeology has tended to focus on kosher dietary laws, the
sacrificial system, and feasting in elite contexts. More everyday
ritual and practice - the preparation of food in the home - has
been overlooked. Food in Ancient Judah explores both the
archaeological remains and ancient Near Eastern sources to see what
they reveal about the domestic gastronomical daily life of ancient
Judahites within the narratives of the Hebrew Bible. Beyond the
findings, the methodology of the study is in itself innovative.
Biblical passages that deal with domestic food preparation are
translated and analysed. Archaeological findings and relevant
secondary resources are then applied to inform these passages. Food
in Ancient Judah reflects both the shift towards the study of
everyday life in biblical studies and archaeology and the huge
expansion of interest in food history - it will be of interest to
scholars in all these fields.

The Five-Minute Archaeologist in the Southern Levant is a
user-friendly exploration of basic concepts within archaeology,
with particular attention to the region of the southern Levant.
This volume is intended for students and lay readers alike, and
would be an excellent reader for introductory level courses on
archaeology in college and university settings. Topics range from
basic archaeological concepts to various types of archaeology,
written by specialists in those particular fields. Chapters are
informal and relaxed - more like a chat or discussion that will
help answer some of the basic questions that archaeologists are
often asked.

Food and feasting are key themes in the Hebrew Bible and the
culture it represents. The contributors to this handbook draw on a
multitude of disciplines to offer an overview of food in the Hebrew
Bible and ancient Israel. Archaeological materials from biblical
lands, along with the recent interest in ethnographic data, a new
focus in anthropology, and emerging technologies provide valuable
information about ancient foodways. The contributors examine not
only the textual materials of the Hebrew Bible and related
epigraphic works, but also engage in a wider archaeological,
environmental, and historical understanding of ancient Israel as it
pertains to food. Divided into five parts, this handbook examines
and considers environmental and socio-economic issues such as
climate and trade, the production of raw materials, and the
technology of harvesting and food processing. The cultural role of
food and meals in festivals, holidays, and biblical regulations is
also discussed, as is the way food and drink are treated in
biblical texts, in related epigraphic materials, and in
iconography.
