Early Israel: An Egalitarian Society

By Avraham Faust
045 This is going to be a difficult article to illustrate, I thought to myself as I started to write this article for BAR. How do you illustrate something that isn’t there? This is an article about burials—or perhaps tombs would be more accurate...

By Avraham Faust
Purification practices of ancient Israelite society before the introduction of mikva’ot remain largely unexplored. Recent excavations at Tel ‘Eton, in the southeastern Shephelah, yielded rich data on household life and practices in the tenth through the eighth centuries B.C.E.

An Israelite Village from the Days of the Judges

By Moshe KochaviAaron Demsky

By Moshe KochaviTimothy RennerIra SparEsther Yadin

Ideology in Stone

Understanding the four-room house
By Shlomo BunimovitzAvraham Faust
033 During the late 1920s, an expedition by the Pacific School of Religion discovered three houses of strikingly similar design at Tell en-Nasbeh, Biblical Mizpah. When the first of these was unearthed in 1927, excavators thought it was a temple...

Tripartite Buildings: Divided Structures Divide Scholars

Warren’s Shaft

Yes, It Really Was Used to Draw Water

Did Eilat Mazar Find David’s Palace?
