Reviews

“The editors are to be commended for having published the stratigraphy and architecture of Ramat Raḥel, a hill site located at the outskirts of Jerusalem. The extensive list of loci at the end of this volume is exemplary for the admirable work the team has deployed to understand the complex history of building and rebuilding.”
