“…The Judahite stamped jar system has been thoroughly studied (Bocher & Lipschits, 2013;Koch & Lipschits, 2013;Lipschits, 2021;Lipschits & Vanderhooft, 2011Lipschits et al, 2010;Ornan & Lipschits, 2020;Vanderhooft & Lipschits, 2007) and was recently summarized by Lipschits (2021), who provided a comprehensive classification of the seals according to their iconographic motifs and time of use. Figure 1 displays the seven main impression categories discussed in this study and their age spans.…”

The rich and extensively studied archaeological record of the Near East provides an opportunity to develop a comprehensive archaeomagnetic dataset for exploring the behavior of the geomagnetic field with high precision. The Levantine archaeomagnetic curve (LAC) project is an ongoing effort to develop a continuous high‐resolution geomagnetic intensity curve for the Levant and Mesopotamia. The first version of the LAC covered the period between 3000 and 550 BCE. Here, we report archaeointensity data from 169 samples compiled into 32 groups dating between the 7th and the 1st centuries BCE aiming at extending the LAC up to the end of the first millennium BCE. Twenty‐two groups are assembled from storage jar handles bearing different types of royal seal impressions, which were used in Judah as part of a taxation administrative system. These groups are combined with 10 other groups of pottery assemblages, three of which are from Hellenistic destruction layers dated using radiocarbon and coins. The new curve shows that the Levantine Iron Age Anomaly (LIAA) spanned 550 years (1100 ‐ 550 BCE) and that the rate of decline during the last spike around 600 BCE could have reached ∼0.6 μT/year. During the 6th century, the virtual axial dipole moment (VADM) dropped from 160 ZAm2 to 125 ZAm2 after which field intensity only slightly increased to 135 ZAm2, until another considerable decline to ∼90 ZAm2 during the 3rd to the 1st centuries BCE. We highlight the archaeomagnetic implication of the new curve in inferring the relative chronological relationship between different stamp types.

“…Yet, it is only through the frame employed by mid-twentieth-century biblical scholars, in which traditions rather inevitably expressed continuity with their earliest formulations, that 'reconstrual' seems a limited ideological activity. It now seems likely that the late Persian period did feature the kind of revival of interest in the ancient Israelite past that might explain its importance as the locus in which the biblical vision of history finally emerged (Lipschits andVanderhooft 2006, 2014;Vanderhooft 2011: 540;Frevel and Pyschny 2014;Leith 2014;Bocher and Lipschits 2013;Wyssmann 2014).…”

This article surveys developments in the study of the histories of ancient Israel and Judah with a focus on the last ten years. Over that period there has been an increased focus on extrabiblical evidence, over biblical text, as the primary means of constructing comprehensive histories, and a revival of interest in post-modern and linguistic-turn theories with respect to establishing what kinds of histories should be written. This study offers a general discussion of the last decade’s trends; an inquiry into the possibility that Judahite authors only assumed an Israelite identity after the fall of Israel; and an era-by-era investigation of particular developments in how scholars think about the various traditional periods of Israelite and Judahite history. The latter inquiry spans the pre-monarchical period to the Persian period.

“…Indeed, in my opinion, the lmlk jars were produced throughout the first half of the 7th century and the classification of early and late lmlk seal impressions suggested by Lipschits et al (2010: 6-21;2011: 6-7, 9-20) is correct. Moreover, the trio's assertion that the lmlk stamps comprised a link in the chain of marked Judahite jars that began in the late 8th century and lasted until late monarchic times and beyond is well established; I take it as a point of departure for my study (for more details, see Lipschits and Vanderhooft 2007;Bocher and Lipschits 2013).…”
