The Tell es -Sâfi / Gath Archaeological Project: Overview

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The Tell es -Sâfi/Gath Archaeological Project commenced in 1996 and is one of the largest and longest continuously running archaeologi-cal projects in Israel. As the year 2017 marks twenty-two years of research and excavations, it is an apt opportunity to present an overview and reflection on the project in general, and various aspects of the research in particular. The opportunity to do this in two special issues of NEA is an excellent occasion, as this provides an expertly produced medium, read by many interested in the field of ancient Near Eastern history, archaeol-ogy, and culture.1 In this, first article of this special issue, I would like to provide an overview of the project and its primary accomplishments.
