The Casemate Wall System Of Khirbat Safra, Elizabeth Anne Emswiler
The Casemate Wall System Of Khirbat Safra, Elizabeth Anne Emswiler
Master's Theses
Problem
A casemate wall system was found at Khirbat Safra in 2018 and 2019, which has been dated to early Iron Age I. However, no comprehensive study of Iron Age I casemate wall systems in Transjordan has been conducted. Therefore, this thesis will present and compare the findings from Kh. Safra and four other sites in Transjordan which have casemate wall systems dating to Iron Age I.
Method
A short study on the history of fortifications, casemate wall systems, and siege warfare was conducted for this thesis. The ruins from Fields A, B, C, and D at Kh. Safra were …
Revisiting The Date Of Stratum V At 'Araq El-'Emir, Jordan, Daniel A. Ulvoczky
Revisiting The Date Of Stratum V At 'Araq El-'Emir, Jordan, Daniel A. Ulvoczky
Master's Theses
Problem
Paul W. Lapp excavated at ‘Araq al-‘Emir and dated Stratum V to Iron Age I with an occupation gap before later periods. Later findings by scholars suggested a later date for this stratum, but no one has reviewed the original material in order to complete this. This study revisited the date of Stratum V using Lapp’s original sherds and field notes.
Method
The original sherds and field notes were borrowed from Nancy L. Lapp at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. The data in the field notes was cross-examined with the sherds to identify the relevant sherds. A comparative analysis was conducted …
The Water System Of Tall Jalul, Bruno Alves Barros
The Water System Of Tall Jalul, Bruno Alves Barros
Master's Theses
The Problem
Components of the water system of Tall Jalul have been discovered since 2009 in Fields G and W. Although articles and reports have been written, no comprehensive study has been conducted. Therefore, this thesis will present and discuss the water system of Jalul from 2009 to 2016 and look for comparisons with similar Iron Age structures in the Ancient Near East.
The Method
For this project, the ruins from Fields G and W were analyzed. First, selected water systems in Palestine were introduced, followed by a review of preliminary reports and personal observations on the site of Tall …
The Bronze Artifacts Of Tall Jalul, Jordan, Christine T. Chitwood
The Bronze Artifacts Of Tall Jalul, Jordan, Christine T. Chitwood
Master's Theses
Background
It is quite common at excavation sites throughout the Near East to uncover the remains of metallic artifacts, though the practice of investigating these objects has fluctuated over the past 50 years of archaeometallurgical studies. Early scholars of archaeometallurgy, such as R.F. Tylecote, employed the use of elemental analysis, studying early metallurgical technologies necessary to create metallic implements around Europe and the Near East and paying close attention to the resources and energy exerted to manufacture each instrument. Other researchers compiled typological comparisons, building cultural identities off of stylistic features from the material culture. Since then, technological and elemental …
Figurines From Tell Balatah/Shechem, Jacob A. Moody
Figurines From Tell Balatah/Shechem, Jacob A. Moody
Master's Theses
Problem
The Drew-McCormick Expedition conducted six seasons of excavation at the site of Tell Balâtah/Shechem between 1957-‐1968. During those campaigns they uncovered several anthropomorphic and zoomorphic (clay and stone) figurines. This study represents the initial research for those figurines and their eventual publication and will briefly review the pertinent research done on figurines from the Levant and provide a detailed catalogue of the available figurines from Tell Balâtah/Shechem.
Method
The 38 available figurines were studied and detailed drawings were provided for each. The known data associated with every figurine are specified (provenance, registration number, size, condition, physical description, etc.) and, …
