The Archaeology of the Holy Land This book provides an introduction to the archaeology and history of ancient Palestine – modern Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories – from the destruc- tion of Solomon’s temple in 586 B.C.E. to the Muslim conquest in 640 C.E. Special attention is paid to the archaeology of Jerusalem and to the late the Second Tem- ple period, that is, the time of Herod the Great and Jesus. For each period, the book offers historical background for the Mediterranean world, the ancient Near East and Palestine. Major sites such as Masada, Caesarea Maritima, and Petra are examined in archaeological and historical detail, along with the material culture – coins, pottery, glass, and stone vessels – typical of each period. This book provides a thorough overview of the archaeology of this historically rich part of the world.
