LIST OF LOCI
The Monograph Series of the Institute of Archaeology of Tel Aviv University is a platform mainly for the publication of final reports on excavations conducted by the Institute. Recent volumes present the excavations of central sites, such as Beersheba, Beth-Shemesh, Lachish, Megiddo, and Ramat Raḥel, which shed light on the history of ancient Israel and on biblical times. These final reports present the stratigraphy and finds of the excavations and offer the results of auxiliary scientific studies, such as petrography, organic residue analysis, and radiocarbon dating. The series thus serves as a forum for dissemination of knowledge to the public and the scholarly community and may serve as a tool for research by future generations of scholars. The Monograph Series of the Institute of Archaeology of Tel Aviv University is copublished with Eisenbrauns, an imprint of Penn State University Press.
