JohnsonI dont agree with Dr. Magness on every issue; but overall I have to say she is one of the top archaeologists in the Holy Land today. She is very clear and straightforward in her presentation. Scholarly; shes top notch. Yet she handles herself in a way that doesnt make it appear she has a chip on her shoulder; laying out the information that even most informed laypeople can understand. In fact; if you havent seen her Great Courses 36-episode series; I do recommend that as well. In this book; the reader is provided a timeline regarding the history and archaeology of the Holy Land.I do want to respond to an earlier reviewer said the book was dry. For a book with this type of information and what is being shared; and for the reader who has interest in learning more; I would disagree. And the multiple photographs throughout makes the material come even more alive; making the book even more interesting. When it comes to better understanding the archaeology of Israel; this book is completely understandable and one of the best resoruces I have ever read. It is definitely well worth its price and; for somone who has led five group tours to the Holy Land since 2009; is one I certainly endorse for my travelers.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Just about the best archaeology textbook this reader has seen on the Middle ...By Fred P.Just about the best archaeology textbook this reader has seen on the Middle East and I would sorely like to see a book that does similar justice to Mesopotamia or Asia Minor. The figures and photos are plentiful and very well explained. I especially liked the background analysis. For example the theme of showing the consistent trends of Samaria going towards inclusiveness while Judah seeking to keep the realm in the ever tighter grip of the Temple elite. One of the more difficult aspects of the archaeology is representing the famous water system of Jerusalem; with the confusion over Warrens Shaft and the nature of the Siloam Pool. The clear photos of the footings for the defensive structures that surrounded the critical Gihon spring in the Canaanite city go a long way to show how much speculation had to go into any specific model of what those structures were like. Superb coverage of the Dead Sea Scrolls; the archaeology of Qumran; and the Ein Gedi caves. The same for the remains of the Roman encampments around Masada where the author has personally investigated. The relative clarity in explaining what is confirmed and what is speculation is remarkable. The book tells a coherent story with as many illustrations as you could ask for; with top quality photos of artifacts and line drawings remarkable for their clarity.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A decent introduction with opportunity for improvementBy CuriousA nice detailed work for students and beginners.Illustrations are virtually all black and white and might improve the quality to the extent of greater use of coloration. This might be particularly helpful in distinguishing between the various walls about Jerusalem.I might have wished for a timeline for each period that might have clarified relation of events in the Holy Land with those in Persia; Egypt; Greece; Rome and perhaps China and India. Also a nice extra might have been comparative chronologies of the Israel and the Judah Monarchies after King Solomon.Some comparison of art and craft was made with that of Greece where imports were noted or were excluded. Ongoing comparisons of sample products during the period of Hellenicism might have been desirable as well.
