When mentioning Wild Goat Style (p. 207), it would have been informative for the readers to note that this ware was first named by E.A. Gardner in the 1880’s based on finds from Naukratis in Egypt. Since the 2000s, there is an ongoing debate on the terminology (and the provenience) of this East Greek ware, see Weber, S., ‘The Greek Painted Pottery from Tell Dafana’, in: Leclère and Spencer 2014, 119 with references. 2. For the so-called Achaemenid bowls (attested both in metal and ceramic), L.P.O.17, one should add that these were found by Petrie in Tell Dafana (see Colburn 2020, 213 with references); references to recent work at this important site are missing and excellent contributions about imported amphorae (including petrographic and chemical analyses) and East Greek fine ware (see note 1) should have been included as comparative material (Leclère and Spencer 2014). 3. The work by Victoria Yarmolovich on the foreign influence of some of the shapes from Kom Tuman is not fully cited, an article from 2019 is missing (Yarmolovich and Chepel 2019). Regrettable is that the nomenclature of the ceramic typology and the fabrics in this article, dealing with the same material from the same mission, is completely different to the present volume. 4. An excellent example how early researchers, in this case W.M.F. Petrie, were misled in interpretating Late Period remains because of a too strong focus on Herodotus and the aim to find a reflection of his description in the archaeological remains can be found in the reassessment of the site of Tell Dafana, see Leclère and Spencer 2014.","PeriodicalId":44359,"journal":{"name":"Palestine Exploration Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44154103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cemetery is situated c 50 m east of the main tell. Nami was a focal point of trade linking a north–south maritime trade route with an east–west terrestrial one. The settlement was dated by excavations to the Middle Bronze Age IIa and the LB IIb–c, the last of the 13th and early 12th centuries bce. Among the numerous finds in the LB IIc Nami necropolis, were a number of the ceramic shape named alabastron, or pyxis. They are not homogenous in shape, size, ware and decoration. Neutron Activation Analysis and Petrographic analyses of the ware established that they also do not share provenance. While the earliest appearance of the shape was in the Aegean, eventually a small version of the pyxis became more common in the southern Levant’s necropoleis, and is found at Nami, where it was placed near the crania in burials. The analyses carried out on samples from the cemetery of Nami, showed that some of the pyxides were produced in the vicinity of the site, or in the general area. Others, however, were imported from Transjordan. Those include examples of plain and decorated ones.","PeriodicalId":44359,"journal":{"name":"Palestine Exploration Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42192312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Finally, in the Byzantine era, the religious significance of the region grew and dozens of monasteries were built in its vicinity. Itamar Taxel’s detailed and nuanced discussion of the Byzantine–Early Islamic transition is particularly illuminating (although he does not have much to say about the possible impact of a shift in climate). Frank H. Neumann and Wolfgang Zwickel as well as Eva Kaptijn provide useful maps that help the reader trace the rising and falling number of settlements near the lake at various points in time. The volume’s chapters vary in length and depth. Alongside thematic chapters on water management, agrarian resources, textiles and references to the Dead Sea in the Bible there are important contributions on specific sites, including some by archaeologists who have been excavating in the area for several years: Gideon Hadas on Ein Gedi, Lorenzo Nigro on Jericho, Konstantinos D. Politis on Ghor es-Safi and Győző Vörös on Machaerus. Inevitably, there are a number of shortcomings as well. While informative and insightful, the introductory essay by Martin Peilstöcker and Sabine Wolfram is dedicated to the exhibition at Chemnitz rather than outlining and framing the content of the volume. Contributors were clearly tasked with approaching the subject matter from different perspectives, but there is a degree of overlap between the essays. The order of the chapters could have been more systematic. For instance, it would have been better to cluster together Katharina Galor’s essay on gender at Qumran, Marcello Fidanzio’s contribution on Qumran cave 11Q and Jean-Baptiste Humbert’s interesting hypothesis about a Hasmonean ‘axis’ that connected Jerusalem, Hyrcanion, Qumran, Callirrhoe andMachaerus (in the volume these are separated by several other chapters). Finally, with many of the essays written by archaeologists, the volume privileges sedentary material culture. Less archaeologically visible nomadic groups such as the Late Bronze Age ‘Shasu’ or the saraceni of the late Roman and early Byzantine era are mentioned only briefly. Setting these issues aside, this volume marks a very important contribution to our understanding of the history of life at the Dead Sea. Supported by several maps, images and illustrations, it presents an up-to-date picture of the interdisciplinary study of this region’s past.","PeriodicalId":44359,"journal":{"name":"Palestine Exploration Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42657275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
