The Sanctuary at Gilat, Israel

Cover of Thomas Evan Levy: Archaeology, Anthropology and Cult (PDF)

The Chalcolithic period was formative in Near Eastern prehistory, being a time of fundamental social change in craft specialization, horticulture and temple life. Gilat – a low mound, semi-communal farming settlement in the Negev desert – is one of the few Chalcolithic sanctuary sites in the Southern Levant. ‘Archaeology, Anthropology and Cult’ presents a critical analysis of the archaeological data from Gilat. The book brings together archaeological finds and anthropological theory to examine the role of religion in the evolution of society and the power of ritual in promoting change. This comprehensive volume, which includes artefact drawings, photographs, maps and data tables, will be of interest to students and scholars of ancient history, anthropology, archaeology, as well as biblical and religious studies.
