  • Casemate Wall with Abutting Structures at Khirbet Qeiyafa: the Archaeology of Architecture and Its Implications for Khirbet Qeiyafa’S Identity
    ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! The Architectural Phenomenon of ‘Casemate Wall with Abutting Structures at Khirbet Qeiyafa: The archaeology of Architecture and its Implications for Khirbet Qeiyafa’s Identity Rachel Hyung Guong Ko School of Religious Studies McGill University, Montreal February 2018 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts (M.A. thesis). ©2018 by Rachel Hyung Guong Ko ABSTRACT This work catalogues and re-examines the main architectural features that were uncovered at the Iron Age city of Khirbet Qeiyafa. The site was excavated for a total of seven seasons under the direction of Dr. Yosef Garfinkel of the Hebrew University and Saar Ganor on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authorities; Michael G. Hasel of the Southern Adventist University joined Garfinkel and Ganor for the 2009-2011 excavation seasons. The excavators have proposed that the site be identified as the biblical site of Sha’arayim, meaning “two gates”, mentioned three times in the Hebrew Bible (Joshua 15:36, 1 Samuel 17:52, 1 Chronicles 4: 31). Their identification of Khirbet Qeiyafa as belonging to the kingdom of Judah has stirred much controversy amongst scholars who support current theories of state formation in the Levant during the Iron Age. These scholars, so called ‘minimalists’, maintain that there is no archaeological evidence to support an United Monarchy, and insist that the northern Kingdom of Israel only emerged in the early 9th century BC, and the kingdom of Judah only in the late 8th century BCE, some 300 years later than the events as purported to have happened in the biblical narrative (Lemche 1988; Finkelstein 1996; Thompson 1999)”.1 The architectural remains of the Iron Age city at Khirbet Qeiyafa have been particularly important in the discussion regarding the socio-political identity and the territorial affiliation of the site.

    The Green Belt in its entire length is not a well developed and signposted hike and bicycle path.

Moreover, in some places the Green Belt is not recognisable because parts of it are now used as intensive grassland, arable land Traces of the Past or woodland. along the German Green Belt “Those who cannot remember their past are condemned to repeat it.” (George Santayana) The Green Belt in its entire length is not a well developed and signposted hike and bicycle path. It is not always easy to tell where the former border strip was, as most of the border fortifications have been dismantled. Moreover, in some places the Green Belt is not recognisable because parts of it are now used as intensive grassland, arable land or woodland. East German border guard on patrol Opening of the border at Mödlareuth “Western tourists” at the Iron Curtain 2 INHALT FOREWORD Dear visitors of the Green Belt and the borderland museums, For more than 25 years, the Green Belt, the stretch of unspoilt nature that has arisen as a result of the inhumane inner-German border, has been a constant reminder of our once divided nation. Nature has been left to its own devices here, not because we want to forget, but because we want to remember. Scores of people visit the Green Belt in an attempt to come to terms with history: the history of their country, their mothers and fathers, relatives, friends or even their own personal fate.
