SWAUGER Carnegie :Museum, Pittsburgh Among the classes of archaeological phenornena in Palestine that cry for explanation are dolmens, hut-like structures built of Large slabs of stone. We need to know (following the journalism dass directive of my high school days) the who, what, where, when, why and how of these structures. So far only the what, where, and how seem clear enough. The who, when and why may engage our efforts for a long time to come. What is easy. A dolmen is a megalithic building, a usually rectangular structure consisting of a single massive horizontal "roof" stone resting on two or more equally massive vertical "wall" stones, or some variation on this theme. What can bc called a "classic" dolmcn is essentially a stone box made up of six slabs: one roof, two sides, two ends (one of which can be called a "door" slab),...

PETERBOROUGH: N. H. Survey And 'New' Thesis On The Bones Of Peter GRAYDON F. SNYDER Bethany Theological Seminary The statement by Pope Paul VI on June 26, 1968, that the bones of Peter had been convincingly identified came as a shock to both sides of a controversy that has been fuming euer sine the announcement of a new set of bones was made in 1965. For whatever reasons the Pope made this statement — be it the appropriatencss of die 19th centennial or sheer political sagacity—the effeet will be to suffocate one of tlie most intriguing questions in biblical archaology. In this article I would like to clarify the nature of the problem and indicate what new evidence will likely change die nature of the entire question. The problem of the bones of Peter is of relatively recent origin. It was assumed they were under St. Peter's Chureh. Caius, as recorded by Eusebius, said: "But I ean point out the trophies of the Apostles, for if you will go to the Vatican or to the Ostian Way you will find the trophies of those who founded this Church." (Ecclesiastical History II. 25. 7). If we can associate trophies with the graves of the two apostles then we have ...

Contents Secondary Burials in Palestine, by Eric M. Meyers     2 Cumulative Subject Index to BA    29 Archaeological Neus and Views    29 Textauszug Secondary Burials in Palestine ERIC M. MEYERS Duke University One of the most prevalent and yet least understood of ancient Palestinian burial customs is that of ossilegium, or secondary burial. Such a practice is characterized by the collection of skeletalized remains at some point after the flesh had wasted away and by their deposition in a new place of repose. This type of burial contrasts with the more familiar primary inhumation which transpires shortly after death and remains undisturbed. By and Large the frequency with which secondary burials appear in the Jong history of Palestinian tombs has been overlooked. Perhaps this oversight derives from the traditional view which held such a practice alien to the spirit of Semitic peoples, for whom disturbing the repose of the dead was thought to be so repugnant. Such an artitude is reflected in the biblical statement of Numbers 19:15: "Whoever in the open fields touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead bod...

The existence of the neeropolis had been known for many years, and various tombs were studied by distinguished scholars, primarily C. Schick, C. Clermont-Ganneau, A. Reifenberg, N. Avigad and recently S. Loffreda.' In spiee of its importance, however, a general systematic study of the necropolis was not carried out until last year. The reason for this is, perhaps, to be sought in the hostile nature of the villagers. Already in the 19th century their notori...

Megiddo of the Kings of Israel YIGAEL YADIN The Hebrew University (Professor Yadin broke the news of his restudy of the Megiddo stratigraphy in the BA ten years ago, after the first of three skort campaigns he describes in this article. The report was so important that we squeezed it in tiny type with only three photographs at the end of BA, XXIII.2. The article you are about to read contains muck that is neu, and exciting; for that reason we have left a certain amount of repetition of the 1960 article in place so that the entire picture can be painted. — LFG) The endeavors of the spule to unearth the building remains of Solomon, greatest builder among Israel's kings, are pars of the enthralling web of the excavations in the Holy Land during the last seventy years. No doubt the crowning glory of Solonion's enterprises is the Temple he built in Jerusalem, to which, understandably, whole chapters in the Bible are dedicated. David, who spent his life warring even beyond the borders of Israel, had no time to build fortified cities (which bis offensive strategy in fact made unnecessary), let alone the Temple in Jerusalem.

Bull      58 Another Change of Address!      72 Ancient Palestinian Dwellings H. KEITH BEEBE Occidental College In Deuteronomy 22:8, we find an ordinance requiring newly constructed homes to have a parapet on the roof to prevent people from falling off. We know about Moab's fat king who sat receiving foreign tribute and diplomatic calls "in his cool roof ehamber" (Judg. 3:20). We imagine the anxiety of Sisera's mother as she looked from her latticed window (Judg. 5:28) and the terror in Jezebel's eyes as she heard Jehu order her thrown from the upper story window (II Kings 9:30-33). We visualize David on the roof of the king's house as he lusted after the bathing Bathsheba (II Sam. 11:2). Vexatious Ezekiel compared the false prophets of Israel to those who built a mudbrick wall and daubed it with whitewash only to have the first hailstorm wash it away to its stone foundations (Ezek. 13:10-16). Even with frequent allusions to roofs, doors, bedrooms, courtyards, walls, rafte...

The follo-wing article is reprinted from the Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, XXV (1970), with the kind permissian of its editor Miss Elizabeth H. Thomson, to suggest the state of investigation on its subject at present. I t should be pointed out that archaeologists have not often been asking these questions of their soil and artifacts; the subject of hygiene is in its infancy so far as archaeology is concerned. lt is to be hoped that the printing of this introductory essay, with its valuable bibliography as well, will further encourage archaeologists to work with natural scientists to gain more information on the subject at issue in the article. — Editor] The aim of this paper is to present the essentials of hygiene conditions and...

They definitely do, however, create ideal sites for archaeological investigation; this is further facilitated by man. Border fortress- es and settlements are outposts of civilization and, as such, are the prime targets of marauders and invaders. This makes for numerous occupational levels over short periods, usually well covered by thick layers of debris. Pre- servation of finds is aided by arid conditions and fine-grain...
