Endnote 10 – Save Us from Postmodern Malarkey

See Israel Finkelstein, The Archaeology of the Israelite Settlement (Jerusalem: Israel Exploration Society, 1998); Finkelstein and Nadav Na’aman, eds., From Nomadism to Monarchy: Archaeological and Historical Aspects of Early Israel (Jerusalem: Israel Exploration Society, 1994). On the implications of the Israeli survey data, see the differences between Whitelam and myself in Whitelam, “The Identity of Early Israel: The Realignment and Transformation of Late Bronze-Iron Age Palestine,” JSOT 63 (1994), pp. 57–87; Dever, “The Identity of Early Israel: A Rejoinder to Keith W. Whitelam,” JSOT 72 (1996), pp. 3–24. Add now Dever, “Archaeology, Ideology, and the Quest,” “Histories and Non-histories.”
