Description

The British Schools and Institutes abroad (which are funded by the British Academy) have sustained a high level of archaeological activity over the last 30 years.

This series, concentrating on work in the Near East and Africa, will include major past excavations (such as Kathleen Kenyon's in Jerusalem, 1961-7) as well as the first substantial publications of young scholars developing programmes of research.

All periods from prehistory to early modern times will be covered in the series, and archaeology is interpreted broadly to encompass the study of material culture in all its aspects.

This volume continues the publication of the late Dame Kathleen Kenyon's 1961-67 excavations of ancient Jerusalem.

There is a full description of the stratigraphy, architecture and objects recovered from eight phases dating between the 9th and early 6th centuries BC.

There is a major analysis of the ceramic sequence, much of it the result from new statistical methods and detailed study of manufacturing techniques.

There are commentaries on the practices of Jerusalem potters ancient and modern, and on the trading patterns that are revealed. The conclusions illuminate details of the social, religious ad economic life of the quarter: a guest house near the ancient city gate; an adjacent local cult cave, perhaps offered to the Canaanite deity Asherah; the progessive decline of the quarter and its final abandonment when a new city wall system was built over it.
