Today, I recieved my copy of the new, 5th, supplementary volume of the New Encylclopedia of Archaeological Excavations in the Holy Land, which is chock full of many interesting articles on all kinds of sites in Israel, Palestine and Jordan which have been excavated since the original 4 volume encyclopedia was put out in the early 90’s. Much thanks and congrads to Prof. Ephraim Stern and the editorial staff of the IES for putting out this important volume!
Among other articles, there is an a summary of the work conducted at Tell es-Safi between 1996 and 2002 (pages 2079-2081 in the volume). This article was submitted quite a few years ago, so clearly, it is not up-to-date. Nevertheless, it does include a nice survey of various issues that have been broached in our excavations, and provides a nice English overview of the excavations.
