| Summary: | The so-called "Nordburg" of Megiddo, probably a palace of the end of MB IIA, was excavated at the beginning of this century by G. Schumacher and was reexplored by G. Loud 34 years later. Although he reexamined the structural sequence of the area and ascribed it to Level XII, Loud did not produce an overall plan of the building. That task was achieved for the first time by I. Dunayevsky and A. Kempinski, even though they did not focus their attention on the palace itself, but on the adjoining sacred area. The subsequent interpretations of the Nordburg were all more or less based on Loud's schematic plan, putting aside the original plan of Schumacher. This article draws up a new plan of the palace on the basis of the accurate drawings and descriptions produced by its first excavator, identifying its most characteristic features. |
