| Summary: | The finds of two Iron Age sites-Gezer and Samaria-raise methodological problems regarding the relationships between historical (biblical) text and archaeological data, with implications for the entire Iron II stratigraphy and chronology. Dever reexcavated Gezer in 1984, and Wightman has recently reevaluated the Samaria finds. The results of the new undertaking at Gezer support the Iron II date for the "Outer Wall" of the site. Traces of pre-Omride settlement in Samaria undermine the Kenyon-Wightman view on the stratigraphy and history of the major Iron Age sites of northern Israel. |
