Description
Summary:In the recent excavations carried out by the Tel Aviv University expedition to Megiddo, the stratigraphic relations between Buildings 1052 and 1369 were examined. These large edifices were first excavated in the 1930s by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. The Tel Aviv expedition examined the last location where these buildings seem to overlap, and, in Megiddo III, concluded that Building 1052 was constructed first and Building 1369 was added at a later stage, contrary to the prevailing view. After examining the stratigraphic details published in Megiddo III, this paper points out that not a single stratigraphic details or argument was presented that supports this new conclusion. Indeed, the view that Building 1039 was constructed first and Building 1052 was added later must still be the prevailing interpretation.
