| Итог: | For three centuries or more, a series of fortresses at ˓En Ḥaṣeva dominated a crucial southern crossroads and offered protection to those who traveled in their shadow. The main periods of the fortress's life reflect the ebb and flow of the region's Iron Age history as control of the region shifted between the Judahites, Edomites, and Assyrians. In the final stratum of the Iron Age, ˓En Ḥaṣeva sheltered a small shrine from which excavators extracted assemblage of arresting clay and stone cult vessels. The restoration of these artifacts from what was probably an Edomite cultic installation adds further celebrity what was one of the most immense fortresses of biblical times. |
