By applying current anthropological and sociological theory to ancient materials excavated since the early 20th century, the author offers a new way of looking at the archaeological data.ASOR books ;v. 7.TemplesPalestineExcavations (Archaeology)PalestineSacrificeBiblical teachingCanaanitesReligionBronze agePalestinePalestineAntiquitiesTemplesExcavations (Archaeology)SacrificeBiblical teaching.CanaanitesReligion.Bronze age933Nakhai Beth Alpert1951-1865738MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961177003321Archaeology and the religions of Canaan and Israel4475559UNINA
