Summary: A tremendous preparation for joining a dig
Comment: I came across this book while I was preparing to join an archaeological expedition in Israel. I knew that the site had a long history of occupation and I wanted to get a basic overview of the cultures and artifacts associated with the region from prehistory to modern times. This book was exactly what I was looking for. It describes each major period and provides photographs of significant sites and characteristic artifacts. It also provides a history of the past few centuries of archaeology in the region, the approaches taken, and new techniques. The level of detail is very adequate for an overview without bogging down the reader. Having this background helped me get a lot more out of the dig.

Summary: Excellent piece!
Comment: Rast provides the reader with a very understandable approach to archaeology and how it relates to the bible. As a 3rd year student majoring in Anthropology with interests in Religious Studies, I found this book to be an indispensible tool in all aspects. This book is recommendable to all archaeology enthusiasts, or simply for those searching for the scientific "truth" in the Bible.
