“…In the Survey of Western Palestine (conducted during the 80 of the 19th c CE), the spring was identified as Ain Berkit (Conder & Kitchener, 1882, p. 324), which possibly echoes the ancient name Einot Barkai , Anuathu Borcaeus , which Flavius Josephus mentions as located on Judea's northern border ( The Jewish War 3, p. 51; Episcopus, 1904, pp. 28, 19; Josephus, 1928; Tsafrir et al, 1994, pp. 63–64).…”

“…Ein Naqa'a is located in Kesalon Valley, some 10 km west of Jerusalem (Supporting Information: Appendix : site 84). It is in the midst of an agricultural area, on a Roman road that led from Aelia Capitolina to Emmaus Nicopolis and Lod‐Diospolis (see e.g., Fischer et al, 1996; Tsafrir et al, 1994). The site features a complex system of ST segments, some cut into bedrock, some built of stone, and others combining the two methods.…”

A spring tunnel is an ancient water installation used to artificially increase the water yield of a spring through a subterranean tunnel. We have developed a database of 216 spring tunnels documented in the central region of the Southern Levant (present‐day Israel), constructed between Iron Age II and the modern era. The study focuses on the evolution of this water installation over a period of 2500 years, examining these constructions from technological, typological, spatial, and cultural perspectives. Within the larger database, 132 spring tunnels have been mapped, from which we present 36 examples selected to outline the typology and chronology of this type of water installation. The findings of the study indicate a diachronic correlation between the distribution of settlement in the mountain region and the number and geographical distribution of spring tunnels. Ethnic and religious changes, and the complexity of the mountain region's population, are also reflected in the use of these water installations. The comprehensive water structure database presented in this article, from a peripheral, yet strategically located region in relation both to the Far East and to West Mediterranean Empires, is used for initial consideration of local initiatives versus the knowledge‐transfer process.

“…The tell, likely identified as Gaba Philippi (Mazar, 1988), was a city already important by the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 1800 BCE) (Tsafrir et al, 1994: 126). Incorporating pedestrian survey, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imaging and airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), this project used GIS‐based data collection and processing methods to gather environmental data for the area, create a map of surface artefact distribution and document archaeological features at Tell Abu Shusha and the surrounding region.…”

Geographic information systems (GIS) methods, combined with airborne remote sensing, enable collection of complex spatial datasets across broad regional areas.This article explores the use of GIS techniques for fast collection, processing and analysis of pedestrian survey data. This approach is used at Tell Abu Shusha, a multiperiod site in the Jezreel Valley of northern Israel. Surface survey of this tell and the surrounding region, conducted by the Jezreel Valley Regional Project during 2017, documented extensive visible remains of settlement features as well as the ruins of the Ottoman era village of Abu Shusha. Using this data, the potential for existing spatial analytical techniques to be modified and improved through modern processing capabilities is shown. Kolmogorov-Smirnov nonparametric tests, pure locational (k-means) and unconstrained clustering methods were applied to the field walking survey data, showing evidence of feature clustering at multiple scales as well as environmental patterning in where features are located. Results demonstrate that these approaches increase the speed and accuracy of pedestrian survey data collection and that the modification of these analytical techniques makes them more robust than before, allowing for the identification of meaningful large-scale spatial patterns.

Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus

Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus, a book-length investigation of this topic, challenges the conventional scholarly view that first-century Galilee was thoroughly Hellenised. Examining architecture, inscriptions, coins and art from Alexander the Great's conquest until the early fourth century CE, Chancey argues that the extent of Greco-Roman culture in the time of Jesus has often been greatly exaggerated. Antipas's reign in the early first century was indeed a time of transition, but the more dramatic shifts in Galilee's cultural climate happened in the second century, after the arrival of a large Roman garrison. Much of Galilee's Hellenisation should thus be understood within the context of its Romanisation. Any attempt to understand the Galilean setting of Jesus must recognise the significance of the region's historical development as well as how Galilee fits into the larger context of the Roman East.
