Description
Summary:In the 1980s, Ann E. Killebrew directed excavations in the domestic quarter of ancient Qasrin, a Jewish village in the Golan Heights. However, work did not stop with excavation. In an innovative experiment, a single household unit located near the synagogue was reconstructed. The process of reconstruction, combined with ethnographic evidence and the rich evidence from Rabbinic sources, has allowed the authors to learn much about the daily life of the inhabitants, and specifically about the function of the spaces within the house.
