330 .. $a This is the account of a remarkable excavation. It started with a modest dig on an
unremarkable tell in Jordan. The name of the tell does not occur in the Bible, and
no ancient town of any importance was to be expected under the rubble. The excavator
Henk Franken had not yet made a name for himself within the archaeological community.
And yet, from 1960 onwards history was being (re)written at Tell Deir Alla. To discover
the secrets of the tell, the expedition team defied cold, rain and stormy winds for
months on end, sleeping in rattling tents and working long days on the tell and in
the camp. And with success! A meticulous yet efficient excavation method was introduced,
the already tenuous relationship between Bible and archaeology was further exacerbated,
and the study of excavated pottery was given a scientific basis. The name Deir Alla
became an international benchmark for modern scientific research, for prompt publication
of the remarkable finds and for independent interpretation of the excavation results.
The story of the excavations at Tell Deir Alla in the 1960s have never been told in
any detail, and the excavation results have mostly been published in scholarly books
and journals which are difficult to access. This book hopes to remedy that. It recounts
the story of the first ten years of the project, from 1959 when funding for the project
was sought, until 1969 when the first report was published. The first section describes
the organization of the project before the expedition team went out into the field.
The second part takes the reader to the actual field work and describes the occupation
history of the tell. The story is illustrated by numerous photographs and plans, many
of which are being published for the first time
