Abstract

"A Tel Aviv University expedition at Tel Beer-sheba, headed by the late Yohanan Aharoni, resulted in exposing a small city that had served as an administrative center of the Kingdom of Judah in the northeastern Negeb almost 3000 years ago. The well planned, fortified city contained a network of streets, blocks of residential dwellings, storeroom-buildings and a sophisticated water-system-all aimed at serving political, military, cultic and economic elite. Tel Beer-sheba yilded a uniquely rich repertoire of pottery vessels, and a variety of other artifacts and ecofacts that exhibit the material culture of the site during the Iron IIA and Iron IIB periods. The tell was developed by the National Parks Authority and in 2005 UNESCO inscribed it as a world Heritage Site"--Back cover
