Eretz-Israel 30

ERETZ-ISRAEL vol. 30 is reviewed by Alexander Zvielli in the Jerusalem Post. Excerpt:

THE 30TH VOLUME of Eretz-Israel, edited by Joseph Aviram, Seymour Gitin, Amihai Mazar, Nadav Na’aman, Ephraim Stern and Sharon Zukerman is dedicated to one of our most distinguished veteran archeologists.

Prof. Amnon Ben-Tor, one of the founders of the Hazor National Park and an archeological surveyor of Jezreel Valley, excavated at Masada, Tel Yarmut, Azor, Athienou in Cyprus, Yokne’am, Hazor and many other sites. He is still active in the Israel Exploration Society and other archaeological bodies, while his book The Archaeology of Ancient Israel (1992) is a basic resource for the teaching of this subject.

The volume’s editors, his colleagues and associates abroad pay a warm tribute to Prof. Ben-Tor. They dedicate to him 14 of their English and French studies, while the Hebrew section contains 40 research papers, all conducted by his grateful students.

Each essay contributes to our better understanding of the origins of Israel, its development, of our neighbors and their culture. ...

Congratulations to Professor Ben-Tor for this well-deserved honor.
