Abstract
Tell es-Sultan, ancient Jericho, represents an almost unique case study of Early Bronze Age urbanization in Southern Levant. The site has been extensively excavated with a favourable set of data from Early Bronze Age II-III well stratified contexts. The results of four different excavations projects, started since the beginning of the 20th century and still on-going with Rome «La Sapienza» and MOTA-DACH (National Authority of Palestine) Joint Expedition (1997-2019), offer a picture of the earliest urban stage in the history of the site, characterised by the organisation of the urban layout and the erection of a massive fortification system during the Early Bronze II, and the emergence of a palatial society in the following Early Bronze III.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
