Archaeological encyclopedia holy land

This comprehensive, illustrated guide has become a classic reference on Middle Eastern archaeology since its first publication in 1972. This third edition is again revised and updated, with the latest findings from digs in the Holy Land compiled from the work of twenty world-renowned archaeologists.

Organized alphabetically, Carta s New Encyclopedia of Archaeological Excavations in the Holy Land (Volumes 1-4) describes and analyzes archaeological excavations carried out during the past century or more in the Holy Land, on both sides of the Jordan. With 365 articles prepared by more than 200 scholars from around the world, this comprehensive encyclopedia presents a rich and extensive body of archaeological material. An extensive bibliography is appended to each article. No other work compares with the scope and authority of the New Encyclopedia of Archaeological Excavations in the Holy Land (Volumes 1-4), or its scholarly significance."
