    Israel Exploration Journal Edited by Shmuel Aḥituv, Aren M. Maeir and Zeev Weiss Vol. 68/2 (2018) CONTENTS 129 DEBORAH SWEENEY, CHRISTIAN HERRMANN, IDO KOCH, YUVAL GADOT, MANFRED OEMING and ODED LIPSCHITS: A Triad Amulet from Tel Azekah ABSTRACT: This article presents a highly unusual enstatite amulet discovered at Tel Azekah in 2015. It depicts two gods and a goddess, identified as the Egyptian deities Re-Horakhte, Seth and Hathor/Wadjet on the basis of their iconography and the inscription on the rear of the amulet. Though it lacks a secure archaeological context, we claim that it should be assigned to the Ramesside period on the basis of the deities depicted and mentioned in the inscription. The amulet is another indicator of the flourishing contacts between Azekah and Egypt during the twelfth century BCE. 150 MEIR EDREY, ERAN ARIE, HILA MAY and ASSAF YASUR-LANDAU: The Iron Age II Tombs of Area E, Tel Achziv: Between Local Traditions and the Consolidation of the Tyrian Polity ABSTRACT: During the 1963 excavation season at Tel Achziv, directed by M.W. Prausnitz, three cist tombs were unearthed in Area E, on the eastern part of the mound. These tombs, built of large roughly-hewn stone blocks, previously dated to the Iron Age IB, display a rich material culture, consisting of pottery vessels, weapons, jewellery and other small finds. To date, only parts of the assemblage of these tombs have been published in preliminary publications. Here, for the first time, we consider the entirety of the tomb assemblages, including ceramic, metal and other finds, as well as tomb architecture and human remains.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

Received: 8 October 2019; Accepted: 25 October 2019; Published: 28 October 2019 Abstract: A field experiment was performed on spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) under different irrigation regimes in a hilly area of Southern Italy. Objectives of the study include evaluating the physiological and biometrical response of mint from plant establishment up to its complete maturation, as well as the yield composition in essential oil at two different dates. Increasing levels of water stress affected later developing leaves and plant’s water status and net photosynthesis (from the beginning of stress (DAT 63), while affecting negatively the biometric response very soon and significantly from 35 DAT. Photosynthesis limitation played a critical role from DAT 53 on, namely later, in the harvest period (DAT 35–70). Under severe water stress, crop restricted water losses by modulating stomatal closure and, at harvest, showing lowered mesophyll conductance. Irrigation treatments did not affect the concentration of organic compounds, while the yield of essential oils was negatively affected by water stress due to reduced crop growth, in terms of total and leaf biomass, leaf area index (LAI) and crop height.

  • “Jonah” Iconography on the Ossuary of Talpiot B Tomb
    Observations on the “Jonah” Iconography on the Ossuary of Talpiot B Tomb In 2002 an authentic first century Jewish ossuary purchased anonymously from the black market was identified as the ossuary of James, the brother of Jesus. It bears the inscription “James son of Joseph brother of Jesus” in Aramaic: scholars have debated over its authenticity1. However, I find it a secondary question. The problem is the provenance of presumed biblical relics. J.L. Reed and J.P. Crossan correctly note about it: We now have the James ossuary without context, provenance, or history. It is almost a poster warning about the destructive effects of paralegal artifacts collecting, about the potential criminal sanctions for selling and buying on illegal antiquities market, and about the moral difference between scientific archaeology and cultural looting.2 Unprovenanced artifacts, such as many presumed Jesus’ relics still displayed in churches as if they were authentic, have troubled scholars and are still at the centre of debates: the Shroud of Turin, the Sudarium of Oviedo, a large portion of the True Cross, or the Titulus Crucis are just some examples.3 The discovery of the Talpiot A tomb, in Jerusalem, back in 19804, was brought to the attention of the media again in 2007: a Discovery Channel documentary5, and a best-seller book6 claimed the Talpiot tomb was that of the family of Jesus. Some scholarly issues regarding the identification of the burial site with the Jesus family tomb have been debated on Near Eastern Archaeology7 and largely on Bible & Interpretation. 1 J. Magness, “Ossuaries and the Burials of James and Jesus”, Journal of Biblical Literature 1, (2005) and a number of different essays published at http://www.bibleinterp.com/articles/James_Ossuary_essays.shtml.
