Greer provides biblical and archaeological evidence for sacred feasting at the Levantine site of Tel Dan from the late 10th century - mid-8th century BCE. Biblical texts are argued to reflect a Yahwistic and traditional religious context for these feasts and a fresh analysis of previously unpublished animal bone, ceramic, and material remains from the temple complex at Tel Dan sheds light on sacrificial prescriptions, cultic realia, and movements within this sacred space. Greer concludes that feasts at Dan were utilized by the kings of Northern Israel initially to unify tribal factions and later to reinforce distinct social structures as a society strove to incorporate its tribal past within a monarchic framework. 410 0$aCulture and history of the ancient Near East ;$vv. 66. 606 $aFasts and feasts in the Bible 606 $aFasts and feasts$xJudaism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFasts and feasts in the Bible. 615 0$aFasts and feasts$xJudaism. 676 $a299.3135 676 $a299/.3135 700 $aGreer$b Jonathan S$0903666 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453040803321 996 $aDinner at Dan$92019985 997 $aUNINA
