Abstract

abstract:This contribution aims to understand the history and function of a rectangular structure, probably domestic in nature and located in the early Philistine sector of Area A at Tell es-Safi/Gath. Tell es-Safi/Gath is one of the five cities of the Philistine pentapolis, located in modern Israel, mentioned in the Old Testament, and popularly associated with the legendary giant Goliath. The understanding of this building is achieved through presenting a building biography. This will include a discussion of the building's complicated construction history, construction styles, associated features, and later disturbances. Although there is a substantial amount of research on object biography, most of that work deals with the reuse and modification or design of contemporary buildings, or megalithic monuments of the European prehistoric eras. A building biography situates the Area A structure within its role in preserving early Philistine identity, history, memory, and imbuing the landscape with symbolic meanings.

Tell es-Safi/Gath A区的建筑传记:从未知的未知到未知的已知的已知，以到达已知的未知

本文旨在了解矩形结构的历史和功能，该结构可能是家庭性质的，位于Tell es-Safi/Gath地区a区的早期非利士人地区。Tell es-Safi/Gath是非利士五城的五个城市之一，位于现代以色列，在旧约中被提及，并且通常与传说中的巨人歌利亚联系在一起。对这座建筑的理解是通过介绍建筑传记来实现的。这将包括对建筑复杂的建造历史、建筑风格、相关特征和后来的干扰的讨论。虽然有大量的研究对象的传记，大部分的工作涉及的重用和修改或当代建筑的设计，或欧洲史前时代的巨石纪念碑。建筑传记将A区结构置于其保存早期非利士人身份、历史、记忆的角色中，并赋予景观以象征意义。

期刊介绍： Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies (JEMAHS) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to traditional, anthropological, social, and applied archaeologies of the Eastern Mediterranean, encompassing both prehistoric and historic periods. The journal’s geographic range spans three continents and brings together, as no academic periodical has done before, the archaeologies of Greece and the Aegean, Anatolia, the Levant, Cyprus, Egypt and North Africa. As the publication will not be identified with any particular archaeological discipline, the editors invite articles from all varieties of professionals who work on the past cultures of the modern countries bordering the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Similarly, a broad range of topics are covered, including, but by no means limited to: Excavation and survey field results; Landscape archaeology and GIS; Underwater archaeology; Archaeological sciences and archaeometry; Material culture studies; Ethnoarchaeology; Social archaeology; Conservation and heritage studies; Cultural heritage management; Sustainable tourism development; and New technologies/virtual reality.
