In this volume honoring Tel Aviv University archaeologist David
Ussishkin, colleagues and students representing some of the major
names in the field today present 25 essays on a variety of topics
of interest to the honoree. The contributions cover a range of
periods from the Late Bronze Age through the Persian period and
disparate subjects such as Judahite bullae, destruction levels at
Megiddo, a diversity of results from various tells in Israel (and
one in Jordan), Egyptian influence on Canaan, the city of Jerusalem
and its temple, and much on the archaeology of the Shephelah, an
area of particular interest to the honoree-who is best known for
his excavations at Tell ed-Duweir, the site of biblical Lachish.
The volume takes its title from a reference in one of the Lachish
ostraca.
From 1966 until his retirement in 2004, David Ussishkin taught

Institute of Archaeology. In 1996, he was nominated incumbent of
the Austria Chair in Archaeology of the Land of Israel in the
Biblical Period. He served as the editor of Tel Aviv: The
Journal of Archaeology of Tel Aviv Univers ity for 30
years.
