The decision to choose between onsite and offsite construction is important in the effort toward sustainable construction. Offsite construction is often promoted as an environmentally friendly approach to construction operations. However, previous studies have shown that there is a lack of clarity on the environmental trade-offs between onsite and offsite construction. Factors that can affect the decision to build onsite or offsite include the availability of a local offsite manufacturing facility, the distance of the offsite factory to the final place of use, the proximity of the site to the local supply of material and labor, etc. This study provides a framework to apply the system dynamic modeling technique to evaluate how various factors can affect the environmental impact of the building construction phase (for onsite or offsite construction methods). The system dynamic model (using Vensim software) that was developed provides a platform that allows users to input variables such as the distance that is expected for transportation of labor, material, and equipment to both the onsite facility and the offsite construction location, factors associated with the use of equipment for construction, the distance needed for transportation of building panels or modules from the offsite facility to the final site, etc. Among other things, the model showed that an increase in the distance from the offsite yard to the final construction site increases the total impacts of transportation of completed modules. An increase in the number of trips for the transportation of material to the onsite construction location increases the total impact of onsite construction. In terms of the environmental impact of construction, none of the two methods of construction gives an absolute superiority over the other. The environmental performance of offsite and onsite depends on various associated factors. It is recommended that building practitioners review various factors that are peculiar to their projects to make an informed decision on the best construction methods.

“…Garfinkel analyzes the Biblical text describing the structure of the temple in conjunction with archaeological finds noting that many reconstructions since 1887 erroneously place steps in front of the Jerusalem Temple (Garfinkel & Mumcuoglu, 2019). His reconstruction of the Jerusalem Temple determines that the forecourt and outer sanctum have a smooth transition with no steps between them.…”

“…The Hebrew Bible describes the holy of holies with an elevation difference of ten cubits. For Garfinkel, this necessitates a set of stairs thus he follows the same floor plan as Watzinger (Garfinkel & Mumcuoglu, 2019; Watzinger, 1933). Interestingly, the Biblical text mentions a staircase for the side chambers but is silent upon the method of accessing the holy of holies given the stated height difference.…”

Reading Ancient Temples through the Lens of Disability Studies and Mobility Design

Modern archaeological scholarship typically overlooks the experiences of people with disabilities, assuming that ancient societies, like contemporary ones, focused on the able-bodied. However, recent developments in the field have demonstrated the possibility of uncovering previously hidden aspects, such as prostheses and votive offerings related to disabilities at healing shrines. Nevertheless, excavations and material culture interpretations still often neglect the lived experiences of individuals with disabilities in antiquity. This article proposes a novel approach that integrates disability studies and mobility design into archaeology to shed light on the lives of the disabled. It applies these concepts to examine access to temples for people with disabilities in ancient Greece, Egypt, and Canaan/Israel, serving as a proof of concept to show that archaeologists can uncover insights into disability by understanding the theological underpinnings of religious site construction.

“… 7. For recent scholarship supporting a 10 th century Temple, see Garfinkel and Mumcuoglu (2019). Lemaire (2011, p. 199) argues that it was Jotham and his son Ahaz who nationalized the Jerusalem Temple by building a new gate and altar in the 8 th century that ‘changed the function of the Temple of YHWH from a royal chapel that had been used by members of the royal palace to the temple of the kingdom, open to the general public’. …”

The centrality of individual petitions in temple rituals: Hannah, Solomon, and first-person psalms

The centrality of individual petition in ritual practice in the Hebrew Bible is rarely recognized. This article draws connections between legislation for the well-being sacrifice (זבח שלמים‎; Lev. 3; 7.11–36) and individual petitions as presented in biblical narratives and psalms. Hannah’s successful petition for a son (1 Sam. 1.1–2.10) illustrates the petition process and the stakes. Solomon’s dedication of the Temple (1 Kgs. 8) further details the process and authorizes seven types of petitions with equal provision for individuals vs. the nation and for sin-based vs. inexplicable crises. Of these, inexplicable crises faced by individuals are literally the most central. Hannah’s crisis is of this type. The types authorized for individuals are reflected in numerous first-person psalms, which also make frequent use of the terminology of well-being offerings. Individual petition provides for an ongoing oral interaction with a God who is perceived as open to persuasion in a public space where an individual’s social status may also be negotiated.
