The final report of the excavation of biblical Shiloh is a detailed interdisciplinary study of an important Canaanite and Israelite cult centre in the highlands north of Jerusalem. Architecture, pottery and small finds, supplemented by investigations into the palaeoeconomy and settlement patterns of its environs, give a vivid picture of the nature of this site from the Middle Bronze to the Iron Age.
