In Dinner at Dan, Jonathan S. Greer provides biblical and
archaeological evidence for sacred feasting at the Levantine site
of Tel Dan from the late 10th century - mid-8th century BCE.
Biblical texts are argued to reflect a Yahwistic and traditional
religious context for these feasts and a fresh analysis of
previously unpublished animal bone, ceramic, and material remains
from the temple complex at Tel Dan sheds light on sacrificial
prescriptions, cultic realia, and movements within this sacred
space. Greer concludes that feasts at Dan were utilized by the
kings of Northern Israel initially to unify tribal factions and
later to reinforce distinct social structures as a society strove
to incorporate its tribal past within a monarchic framework.
