Bibliographical note
Funding Information:1 Many people helped in collecting the data, finding the material and advising. We are grateful to Trude Dothan, Amihai Mazar, Baruch Brandl, Sy Gitin, Eran Arie, Osnat Brandl, Arieh Ruchman-Halperin, Alon De Groot, Debi Ben-Ami, Michael Sabbane and Yael Barschak for their help, and to the Israel Antiquities Authority for allowing us to publish the material. We would like to thank Yulia Rudman (pottery drawing), Bracha Zilber (final plan), Michal Marmelshtein, Tamar Olenick and Sivan Landenberg (pottery plates), Carmen Hersch (final pottery plates) and Elena Delerzon (final maps). The preparation of this article was made possible through a research grant from the Open University of Israel (Grant No. 501012). 2 In this article we use the following terminology for Judah: Iron IIA (c. 970–830 BCE), Iron IIB (c. 830–700) and Iron IIC (c. 700–600/585 BCE; see Faust 2019:202–203, 210–212, 240, 276–277). While the chronology of all subphases can be questioned, most of the debate focuses on Iron IIA, and therefore, a brief discussion of this phase is presented toward the end of the paper.
