Archaeology in the Holy Land

This classic book, extensively revised in 1979, includes the most important archaeological discoveries of that time made regarding both the pre-biblical and biblical history of Palestine. The earliest archaeological finds in Palestine reveal man¿s presence as early as 9000 B.C. This book traces the development of man from hunter and food-gatherer to the earliest agricultural settlements that grew into towns which were eventually incorporated into the Israelite Kingdom. It also discusses the post-Exilic period down to the early fourth century B.C.
