Manasseh Hill Country Survey Volume 9

The book presents the results of a complete detailed survey of the eastern region of Samaria and the Jordan Valley, mainly the South-Eastern Samaria Shoulder, from Wadi 'Aujah to Wadi Makuk and the Jordan Valley north of Jericho. It is Volume 9 of the Manasseh Hill Country Survey publications. This project, in progress since 1978, and covering 2500 sq. km, is a thorough, metre-by-metre mapping of the archaeological-historical area between the River Jordan and the Sharon Plain, and between Nahal 'Iron and the north-eastern point of the Dead Sea. This territory is one of the most important in the country from the Biblical and archaeological view; and the survey is a valuable tool for scholars of the Bible, archaeology, Near Eastern history, tourism, and other aspects of the Holy Land.
