| Summary: | The interpretation of the Late Bronze Age strata of Hazor is of crucial importance for understanding the sequence of events leading to the final destruction of this mighty Cannaanite kingdom. In this article we take issue with a new interpretation of the Late Bronze Age Hazor data published recently by I. Finkelstein, and suggest that this interpretaion does not tally either with the data as uncovered and presented by Yadin following his excavations, or with that uncovered by the presently ongoing excavations at Hazor. In the following, the relevant finds of both Yadin's published excavation results and a description of the remains uncovered in the renewed excavations of the site are presented and reassessed, leading to a scheme that conforms, with certain modifications, with that espoused previously by Yadin. |
