History and research

Shemuel Yeivin established the Department of Ancient Near Eastern Studies at Tel Aviv University in 1962. [3] He was succeeded by Yohanan Aharoni of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1968. Upon assuming the role as chair of the Department, Aharoni established the Institute of Archaeology with the purpose of conducting archaeological fieldwork and research. The teaching staff of the Department was incorporated into the newly formed institute. [4] [5] [6] Throughout its history, the institute has sponsered archaeological excavation at sites such as Aphek-Antipatris, [7] Tel Be'er Sheva, [8] Tel Beit Shemesh, [9] Tel Beit Yerah, [10] [11] Horashim East, [12] Horvat Uza, [13] Tel Ira, [14] Jaffa, [15] Jerusalem, [16] Tel Jezreel, [17] Tel Kabri, [18] Kiriath-Jearim, [19] Tel Lachish, [20] Tel Malhata, [21] Tel Moẓa, [22] Wadi Qana, [23] Nahal Zehora, [24] Tel Kedesh, [25] Ramat Raḥel [26] and Yavne-Yam. [27] [28] The Institute of Archaeology of Tel Aviv University collaborates with Israeli Institute of Archaeology in salvage excavations projects across the country. [29]

List of contemporary excavation projects

Apollonia-Arsuf Excavation Project

Apollonia-Arsuf is located on the Mediterranean coast, within the northern city limits of Herzliya. The fieldwork at the site began in 1976 as a salvage excavation and became an academic endeavor of the institute in 1982. The site shows a continuous occupation from the late 6th/early 5th century BCE through the 13th century CE. Research at the site includes surveys and excavations inside and outside the medieval walled town (the site's core settlement and hinterland), as well as underwater surveys and excavations in the sea off its archaeological remains. Recent seasons of excavations have been focused on the site's Byzantine and Crusader-period remains, within the medieval town and in the Crusader castle, whose destruction is dated to March-April 1265, never to be properly resettled ever since. Directed by Israel Roll (until 2006) and Oren Tal (since 2006). [42] [43]

Ashdod-Yam Archaeological Project

Ashdod-Yam is located on the Mediterranean coast, within the city limits of modern Ashdod and its ancient site Tel Ashdod. The site was inhabited primarily from the Late Bronze Age (15h-12th centuries BCE) and is identified with Asdudimmu, conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire in the late 8th century BCE. The site was known in Byzantine times as Azotos Paralios. The fieldwork started in 2013 and focuses on an Iron Age compound linked to the Assyrians, and a unique Byzantine church with early evidence of Georgian presence in the Holy Land. The project is directed by Alexander Fantalkin. [44] [45]

Lautenschläger Azekah Expedition

Tel Azekah (Tell Zakariya) is located in the Shephelah and yields occupational levels that span the Early Bronze Age to the Roman period. The site has revealed monumental remains from the Middle Bronze Age (c. 2000-1500 BCE) and key destruction contexts from the Late Bronze Age III (12th century BCE). The site shed light on the presence and history of the Kingdom of Judah in the region (10th-6th centuries BCE) and later settlements during the Persian, Hellenistic and Roman periods. Started in 2010, the expedition is directed by and Oded Lipschits, Manfred Oeming (Heidelberg University) and Sabine Kleiman [46] [47] [48]

Tel Hadid Archaeological Project

Tel Hadid is located east of Lod in central Israel. The site dates to as early as the 3rd millennium BCE and yielded key finds related to Neo-Assyrian rule (8th–7th century BCE), Hellenistic period (4th–1st centuries BCE), and Byzantine period (4th–7th centuries CE), the Late Islamic period and the Modern Era (15th–20th century CE) The fieldwork, directed by Ido Koch and James Parker (NOBTS), began in 2018 and includes a survey and excavation at the site. [49] [50]

Givati Parking Lot Excavation (Jerusalem)

The renewed Givati Parking Lot excavation is a joint project between Tel Aviv and the Israel Antiquities Authority, started in 2017 and directed by Yuval Gadot and Yiftah Shalev (IAA). The site forms part of ancient Jerusalem. The site contains remains of public structures dating to between the late Iron Age (6th century BCE), through the Persian period and the Hasmonean period (2nd-1st century BCE). The renewed excavations seek to shed further light on the settlement history of ancient Jerusalem in these periods. [51]

German-Israeli Tell Iẓṭabba Excavation Project

Tell Itzabba is located in northern Israel, within the city limits of Beit She'an, north of its ancient site. It is a multi-period site containing remains from as early as the Early Bronze Age (3rd millennium BCE) to the Early Islamic period (6th-11th centuries CE). It focuses on the study of Tell Iẓṭabba in Seleucid period, at the time known as "Nysa", and its relation to the later Roman settlement which formed part of the Decapolis. The project is directed by Oren Tal since 2019, and deals with the urban layout, infrastructure, water management and other aspects of the site. Among the topics studied are private archetechture, as well as dietary habits during the Hellenistic period through archaeobotanical, archaeozoological and residue analysis studies. [52]

Neustadter Masada Expedition

The site of Masada is a mountain fortress in the Judean Desert, known as a palace of Herod the Great from the late 1st century BCE and the last stronghold of the Jewish rebels during the First Jewish–Roman War. The renewed excavations are directed by Guy Stiebel since 2017, aim to shed light on the pre-Herodian periods at the site, as well as previously unknown remains from later periods, possibly the Early Islamic period. [53] [54]

Megiddo Expedition

Tel Megiddo is located in the Jezreel Valley in northern Israel. It is one of the most important sites in the history of the Levant, dating to as early as the 8th millennium BCE and serving as a key site throughout the entire Bronze and Iron Ages (c. 37th to 6th centuries BCE). Directed by Israel Finkelstein,Matthew J. Adams, and Mario A.S. Martin since 1994, the goals of the renewed excavations are to re-examine Tel Megiddo's stratigraphy and chronology as well as the development of new research methods such as Ancient DNA, geoarchaeology, scientific dating etc. [55] [56]

Tel Shaddud Regional Project

Tel Shaddud is located in the Jezreel Valley in northern Israel, around 10 km north-east of Megiddo. It is identified with a Canaanite town mentioned as śrt in ancient Egyptian sources from the time of Thutmose III and with the biblical town of Sarid, in the territory of the Tribe of Zebulun, which is mentioned in the Song of Deborah. The project started in 2022 and is directed by Omer Sergi, Karen Covello-Paran (Israel Antiquities Authority), Hannes Bezzel (University of Jena), Joachim Krause (Ruhr University Bochum) [57]

Qadas Historical Excavation

Qadas was a Palestinian village depopulated in 1948, located next to the Israeli-Lebanese border. It is situated on Tel Qedesh and its study directed since 2021 by Raphael Greenberg and Gideon Sulimani is a collaboration with Hebrew University excavations there. The project engages in contemporary archaeology. It reveals the ruins of the village, abandoned during the 1948 Arab–Israeli war and demolished in 1966, as well as remains of a military base at the site associated with the Arab Liberation Army, and the remains of human activity at the site by tourists, military units, artists and pilgrims to a recently identified saint's tomb. [58] [59]

Qesem Cave Project

The Qesem Cave is a prehistoric site located in central Israel next to Rosh HaAyin. It yields items of the Acheulo-Yabrudian complex and is dated to between 420,000 to 200,000 BCE. The excavation began in 2001, directed by Avi Gopher (until 2016), Ran Barkai, Ella Assaf-Shpayer (Since 2023). It uncovered dental remains of an unknown archaic human, post-dating the Homo Erectus and closly related to Anatomically Modern Humans. The research includes studies of geoarchaeology, prehistoric environment, dating and lithic technology. [60] [61]

Central Timna Valley Project (CTV)

The Timna Valley is located in the Arava region in southern Israel. The valley contains dozens of sites related to ancient copper mining dating to the Late Bronze Age to early Iron Age (13th-9th centuries BCE). The multi-disciplinary project, directed by Erez Ben-Yosef since 2012, aims to shed light on the geopolitical role of these mines and their relation to the New Kingdom of Egypt, the kingdoms of Israel, Judah and Edom. It includes studies of archaeomagnetism, archaeozoology, archaeobotany and paleoenvironment. [62] [63]

Khirbet Qeiyafa, also known as Elah Fortress and in Hebrew as Horbat Qayafa, is the site of an ancient fortress city overlooking the Valley of Elah and dated to the first half of the 10th century BCE. The ruins of the fortress were uncovered in 2007, near the Israeli city of Beit Shemesh, 30 km (20 mi) from Jerusalem. It covers nearly 2.3 ha and is encircled by a 700-meter-long (2,300 ft) city wall constructed of field stones, some weighing up to eight tons. Excavations at site continued in subsequent years. A number of archaeologists, mainly the two excavators, Yosef Garfinkel and Saar Ganor, have claimed that it might be one of two biblical cities, either Sha'arayim, whose name they interpret as "Two Gates", because of the two gates discovered on the site, or Neta'im; and that the large structure at the center is an administrative building dating to the reign of King David, where he might have lodged at some point. This is based on their conclusions that the site dates to the early Iron IIA, ca. 1025–975 BCE, a range which includes the biblical date for the biblical Kingdom of David. Others suggest it might represent either a North Israelite, Philistine, or Canaanite fortress, a claim rejected by the archaeological team that excavated the site. The team's conclusion that Khirbet Qeiyafa was a fortress of King David has been criticised by some scholars. Garfinkel (2017) changed the chronology of Khirbet Qeiyafa to ca. 1000–975 BCE.

<i>Ophel</i> Biblical Hebrew term for urban elevation

Ophel is the biblical term given to a certain part of a settlement or city that is elevated from its surroundings, and probably means fortified hill or risen area. In the Hebrew Bible, the term is in reference to two cities: Jerusalem and Samaria. The Mesha Stele, written in Moabite, a Canaanite language closely related to Biblical Hebrew, is the only extra-biblical source using the word, also in connection to a fortified place.
