New Resource at the USC Digital Library

This collection includes lists of archaeological sites that were excavated or surveyed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since 1967 (when the Civil Administration of Judea and Samaria was tasked with oversight of this region). These data are presented through the USC Digital Library through two Google map interfaces.

Since 1967, there have been two antiquities authorities active in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The Israel Antiquities Authority, which is responsible for East Jerusalem, is a civil branch of government and its records are open for inspection. Some of the records of the Staff Officer for Archaeology of the Civil Administration of Judea and Samaria are being accessed in full for the first time.

The publication Israeli Archaeological Activity in the West Bank, 1967-2007: A Sourcebook, by Raphael Greenberg & Adi Keinan is available as a printed volume and a CD.

The publication can be downloaded from the USC digital library site: http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/wbarc/. If you are interested in a printed and bound copy, please contact Emek Shaveh (eshaveh@gmail.com).
