Israeli Archaeological Activity in the West Bank 1967–2007: A Sourcebook
by Raphael Greenberg and Adi Keinan


This publication provides the first unified source of information on surveys and excavations conducted under Israeli license in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, from 1967 to 2007. It encompasses nearly 6000 archaeological features, 1600 excavations, and 1000 referenced publications. Derived from published and unpublished sources, the database provides as full an account as possible, within the authors’ limitations, of the extent of archaeological knowledge accumulated by Israeli research since 1967 in the occupied territories. Prepared under the auspices of the Israeli-Palestinian Archaeology Working Group, it is an important source of information on the cultural inventory of the Central Highlands of ancient Israel/Palestine and a contribution to the ongoing project of recording and mapping the deep history of the Near East.

Prof. Raphael Greenberg is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Cultures at Tel Aviv University.

Adi Keinan is a Ph.D. candidate in Cultural Heritage studies at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London.
