Description

This is the fifth volume of publications of the Bet She’an Archaeological Project, describing the large-scale IAA excavations at the site of Bet She’an–ancient Nysa-Scythopolis, during 1986–2002. Bet She’an V: Hellenistic Nysa-Scythopolis is the second volume presenting the full excavation report of the IAA excavations at Tel Iẓṭabba, conducted between 1991 and 1994. The first volume in this series, Bet She’an IV (IAA Reports 62), focused on two corpora of finds: stamped amphora handles and sealings. The current volume, Bet She’an V, is comprised of two parts (IAA Reports 74/1, 74/2) dedicated to the stratigraphy, architecture and finds from the Hellenistic period. Part 1 provides a brief summary of excavations at Tel Iẓṭabba and an overview of the city’s history, the stratigraphy of various excavated areas and architectural descriptions and analyses. Part 2 describes the small finds, including a comprehensive analysis of the pottery, as well as the figurines, coins, weights and miscellaneous artifacts. Remains from the Early Bronze Age III are presented in Appendix 1.
