This is a response to E. van der Steen and P. BIenkowski’s Antiguo Oriente 4 article “How Old is the Kingdom of Edom? A Review of New Evidence and Recent Discussion.” Keywords: Edom – Khirbat en-Nahas – radiocarbon dates – Jordan – Iron Age Resumen: Sociedades complejas de la Edad de Hierro, fechados de radiocarbono y Edom: trabajando con los datos y debates. Esta es una respuesta al artículo de E. van der Steen y P. Bienkowski en Antiguo Oriente 4, “¿Cuán antiguo es el reino de Edom? Una revisión de la nueva evidencia y de la discusión reciente”. Palabras clave: Edom – Khirbat en-Nahas – fechados de radiocarbono – Jordania – Edad del Hierro Antiguo Oriente, Volumen 5, 2007, pp. 13-34 14 T. E. Levy, M. Najjar and T. Higham antiguo oriente 5 - 2007 Scholarly criticism is one of the best catalysts for productive debate and from this perspective, we welcome Eveline van der Steen and Piotr Bienkowski’s review.1 It is unfortunate that the criticism of the Antiquity paper was stimulated by a premature press release. Many of van der Steen and Bienkowski’s concerns about our work at Khirbat en-Nahas (and much more!) are answered in the papers in the volume, The Bible and Radiocarbon Dating– Archaeology, Text and Science.2 Further, we hope that a large-scale Highland– Lowland Iron Age Edom radiocarbon dating project can be initiated with all the researchers working in the area. To this end, Neil Smith and Thomas Levy recently carried out a dating project with a series of small scale excavations at four Iron Age sites in the Highlands of Edom in the general vicinity of Shawbak. Finally, it is our hope that we can continue the debate about the nature of the Iron Age polity in Edom in the near future. As to the critique in Antiguo Oriente, we have to say we were expecting this kind of reaction and we see nothing wrong with that. We were aware that what we are suggesting goes against the dominant view that has pervaded over Iron Age archaeology in Jordan for the past three decades. There is one particularly observant point made in van der Steen and Bienkowski’s review of the recent report in Antiquity3 concerning the University of California, San Diego – Department of Antiquities of Jordan sponsored excavations at the Iron Age site of Khirbat en-Nahas (KEN) that needs to be addressed first (Figure 1). Namely, that the work at KEN has attracted a great deal of attention due to the publication of the Antiquity article and a premature press release issued by McMaster University in McMaster Daily News.4 This press release was a total surprise to us. In September 2004 an international symposium on Radiocarbon Dating and the Iron Age of the southern Levant was organized by two of us (Levy and Higham) at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, where a large number of specialists in Levantine archaeology, Biblical Studies, Egyptology and Radiocarbon dating gathered for three days of intense debate. The results of the conference are published.5 At the conference, opened with remarks from H.R.H. Prince Hassan Ibn Talal presented by Ghazi Bisheh, 1 van der Steen and Bienkowski 2006. 2 Levy and Higham 2005. 3 Levy et al. 2004. 4 McMaster Daily News, Dec. 20, 2004. 5 Levy and Higham 2005. antiguo oriente 5 - 2007 Iron age complex societies 15 former director

  • February Has, for a Short Period of Time, Been Designated As the Month of the Year That We Have Set Aside to Honor Those Who Have Served Our Nation As President
    Salute to the Masonic Past Presidents of the United States of America February has, for a short period of time, been designated as the month of the year that we have set aside to honor those who have served our nation as President. This tradition began many years ago with the celebration of the birthdays of President George Washington and President Abraham Lincoln in the month of their birthdays. Fourteen of the presidents of the United States of America have been Master Masons and have carried out the true virtues of the Masonic order. They were: George Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, James Polk, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, James Garfield, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Warren G. Harding, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, and Gerald R. Ford. Each has left a legacy to us, to our children, and to our grandchildren that is rich in history and steeped in glory. Many of these Masonic presidents, since George Washington and through Gerald Ford, have served during events in history that make us all proud to be able to call them Brethren. There is another group of Brethren and Sir Knights with whom we are more closely associated. They have served as Presidents of the Knights Templar Eye Foundation since its inception. Sir Knights Walter A. DeLamater, Louis Henry Wieber, Paul Miller Moore, Wilber Marion Brucker, John Lawton Crofts, Sr., George Wilbur Bell, Roy Wilford Riegle, Willard Meredith Avery*, Kenneth Culver Johnson, Ned Eugene Dull, Donald Hinslea Smith, Marvin Edward Fowler, and William Henry Thornley, Jr. Sir Knight Walter A.

  • Map 61 Ephesus Compiled by C
    Map 61 Ephesus Compiled by C. Foss and G. Reger (islands), 1994 Introduction The continental part of the map comprises three distinct geographic regions: the coasts of Ionia and Caria, the Maeander valley, and the mountainous hinterland of Caria. The coastal region, settled by Greeks in their first great expansion in the Iron Age, became the site of major cities and many smaller settlements along its deeply indented coastline. The excavators of Ephesus and Miletus have long surveyed the regions of those cities, and other classical scholars have investigated the rest of Ionia. The Ionian coast has seen great physical changes since antiquity. The vast quantities of alluvium deposited by the R. Maeander have made the ancient port of Ephesus an inland town, and turned the former Gulf of Latmos near Miletus into a lake (inset and E2). The Carian coast, with its numerous small ports, is well known thanks to the researches of Bean and Fraser. The broad Maeander valley, which divides Ionia from Caria, always played a major role in the economy of the region with its fertility and the communication it provided between coast and interior. It has not been systematically surveyed. The river’s tributaries offered an outlet for the scattered settlements in the basins and plateaus of the heavily forested interior of Caria. Much of this region, as well as many parts of neighboring ones, was carefully explored by Louis Robert. The map omits Carian sites for which no Greek name is attested; for these, see Radt (1970). For unnamed village sites also not marked, see Marchese (1989, 147-54).

  • Israel & Jordan
    Israel & Jordan Departs 14th November 2018 Itinerary correct as at Apr 15, 2018 but subject to change. All flights to be confirmed. www.bluedottravel.com.au ISRAEL AND JORDAN Israel - the Jewish State - sits between the Mediterranean Sea and neighbouring Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. It is a small country with a relatively modest population of just over 7 million. The official language is Hebrew, the origins of which are ancient, however, English is widely spoken. The country was born in 1948 out of post-holocaust WWII. While Israel is only 70 years old, the region’s history is many thousands of years old. Archaeologists have identified and dated agricultural communities existing more than 5,000 years ago. Jews have been living here since the period of Abraham around 2,000BC. The capital, Jerusalem, has been a spiritual home for Jews, Christians and Muslims over the centuries. In the early days of Islam, the Prophet Muhammed commanded Muslims to face in the direction of Jerusalem for their daily prayers. Over the centuries, all three religions have battled to hold the spiritually important Holy Land. The problem of finding a fair solution to the conflicting and legitimate claims on the Holy Land continues to confound many interested stakeholders. Around 76% of the population of Israel are Jewish and around 16% Muslim. The Jewish population ranges from the secular to the ultra-orthodox. There are over a million Arab Israelis of varying backgrounds and there are 400,000 Christian Israelis also. With the support of some of the West’s major powers, Israel has become a highly successful and wealthy economy and one of the most developed in the region.
