Field II, Squares 31 and 33 field notebook, 2006

 File — Box: 38, Folder: 1

Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

Field notes include the square notebooks kept each dig season for every square excavated. Square 13 was where the cylinder seal (1999) and pilgrim flask (2000) were found.

Fields (sometimes described as areas) are I, II, III, IV, and V. Fields I and II are on the top of the hill and contain the main living complex. Field I is to the east and field II is to the west. Field II contains the highest number of squares. Field III is to the north and contains a possible miqveh. Field IV is on the western slope of the hill. Field V is on the lower southern slope of the hill and contains the cave complex with Crusader-era veneration cave.

A note about the order of the square notebooks: the archivist has attempted to maintain an order similar to the order of fields and squares of the actual site so researchers can compare findings from adjacent sites. This subseries follows the order of field number, square number, and date.

It’s important to note that some of the square notebooks list the incorrect field. The archivist worked off of a map created by Edwards and his team that specifically labeled the location of each field or area. Not all of the squares are listed on these maps (the latest of the maps is dated to 2003 and the dig continued until 2008). The archivist has done their best to put the correct squares in the correct fields. If a square does not have a field location listed, it has been kept separate and marked as such.
