City in Ancient Israel (The Biblical Seminar Ser. )

By Volkmar Fritz

This study traces not only the location, size, architecture, building materials and water provision of Israelite cities, but also their economics and the social organization of their inhabitants, their everyday life, administration and culture. Tracing the history of urban life in the southern Levant from c3000 BC to the end of the biblical period, Fritz also covers the beginings of urbanization, the Canaanite city, the early Iron Age settlements, cities in the period of the monarchy, and capital cities and reisdences.
