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. 410 0$aASOR books ;$vv. 7. 606 $aTemples$zPalestine 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zPalestine 606 $aSacrifice$xBiblical teaching 606 $aCanaanites$xReligion 606 $aBronze age$zPalestine 607 $aPalestine$xAntiquities 615 0$aTemples 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aSacrifice$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aCanaanites$xReligion. 615 0$aBronze age 676 $a933 700 $aNakhai$b Beth Alpert$f1951-$01865738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961177003321 996 $aArchaeology and the religions of Canaan and Israel$94475559 997 $aUNINA
