A Gazeteer of Iron I Sites in the North Central Highlands of Palestine (Daniel Miller, II): An excellent reference source for archaeological sites known through survey and excavation, this gazetteer catalogues all known (360) Iron I sites in the north-central highlands of Palestine, north of Jerusalem. Basic information as to location, water source, occupation before and after Iron I, and finds of the Iron I age are reported, including previously unpublished information. The gazeteer also provides and extensive bibliography for each site. The volume is a required source for doctoral students, professors, and established scholars of Syro-Palestinian archaeology and the Hebrew Bible, particularly for those working in the "settlement" period.
Seven Seasons of American Schools of Oriental Research Excavations at Tell Qarqur, Syria: 1993-1999: In this report, Rudolph H. Dornemann, Director of the excavations, presents in preliminary form the resumed work at this site in the Orontes Valley. First excavated by John Lundquist in 1983 and 1984, Tell Qarqur is probably to be identified with Karkara/Qarqar of the Neo-Assyrian texts of the ninth and eighth centuries B.C. After introductory discussions of the historical and archaeological setting of the Tell Qarqur region, Dornemann brings together the seven seasons of discovery, particularly the remains of the Iron and Bronze ages. Some Iron II and Early Bronze age pottery is presented. Sections include preliminary analysis of the botanical and zoological remains and an overview of the faunal material. Many photographs illustrate the report.
