Description
Summary:Sapienza University of Rome and the Palestinian MoTA-DACH have been committed since 1997 to the protection, scientific re-evaluation, and tourist rehabilitation of Tell es-Sultan, ancient Jericho. Excavations, surveys, and restorations over 14 excavation areas have allowed us to update our knowledge on the history of this long-lived site in the ancient Near East, and made it possible to match data collected by three previous expeditions in a comprehensive picture. From the Pre-Pottery Neolithic to the Bronze and Iron Ages, across ten millennia, Tell es-Sultan provides a lens through which to thoroughly investigate the Southern Levantine culture, its interconnections and achievements, and to test archaeological methods and the potential for a shared and respectful study of the past.
