title = "Integrating Micro- and Macro-Archaeology at a Multi-period Site: Insights and Outcomes from Tell es-Safi/Gath",
abstract = "During the last two decades, a concentrated effort has been made to integrate macro- and micro-archaeology, in the field and in the lab, in the context of the Tell es-Safi/Gath Archaeological Project. In this paper, I discuss the concepts and methods behind this inter- and multidisciplinary approach to field archaeology, and expand on several examples of such work, including aspects relating to on-site sampling for carbon-14 dating, early Philistine metallurgy and plaster production, Early Bronze Age (Canaanite) and Iron Age (Philistine) hearths, and evidence for the physical manifestations of a site-wide destruction of the site during the Iron Age IIA. In addition, I discuss insights that have resulted from two decades of intense interdisciplinary research.",
