EXCAVATIONS AT SHUNI, ISRAEL
Abstract
1 Introduction The area known today as Israel has a long and rich history quite out of proportion to its geographical size. It has been a major focal point of archaeological interest since the early 19th century (Macalister 1925:13-75; Albright 1949:23-48), and this archaeological activity has continued since the creation of the modern State of Israel in 1948. Everywhere archaeological sites have been and are being identified and excavated. "Size for size", writes Edward Bacon (1971:171), "there is probably more controlled native archaeological activity in Israel than in any other country in the world."Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:
