Footnote 17 – Israel Enters Canaan—Following the Pottery Trail

Even if some material was indeed found at Late Bronze Jericho, it seems that evidence for a walled and important city is really meager. See Bryant G. Wood, “Did the Israelites Conquer Jericho? A New Look at the Archaeological Evidence,” BAR 16:02, and the debate in the BAR 16:05 (see “Jericho Was Destroyed in the Middle Bronze Age, Not the Late Bronze Age,” BAR 16:05, and “Dating Jericho’s Destruction: Bienkowski is Wrong on All Counts,” BAR 16:05).
