Summary: A scholarly, academic analysis
Comment: Edited by Amihai Mazara (Professor of Archaeology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem), Studies In The Archaeology Of The Iron Age In Israel And Jordan is an impressive compendium of scholarly, academic analysis. This scholarly text is divided into three parts: Settlement Patterns and Landscape Archaeology; Temples, Cult and Iconography; and Aspects of Material Culture. Occasional black-and-white illustrations and photographs of artifacts dot the serious, thoughtful, and heavily researched text. The contributors surveying spatial archaeology and settlement patterns include Adam Zertal (Samaria), Avi Ofer (Judah), Gunnar Lehmann (the Akko Plain), and Shimon Gibson (the Hill country). Religion and iconography are surveyed by Avraham Brian and Ze'ev Herzog (temples at Dan and Arad), Raz Kletter and Kay Prag (clay figurines and other cult objects), Tallay Ornan (seals and pendants portraying Ishtar), and Norma Franklin (iconography of the wall relief in Room V at Sargon's Palace in Khorsabad), Amihai Mazar (Iron Age II Beth Shean), Margreet Steiner (urban development in Jerusalem during Iron Age II), Piotr Beinkowski and Leonie Sedman (Busayra, the capital of Edom). Studies In The Archaeology Of The Iron Age In Israel And Jordan is a core addition for any academic and archaeological reference collection devoted to ancient history in the Middle East.
