Footnote 3 – Is the Cultic Installation at Dan Really an Olive Press?

“Production and Commerce in Temple Courtyards An Olive Press in the Sacred Precinct at Tel Dan,” Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research (BASOR) 243 (1981). Although the date of the BASOR containing Stager and Wolff’s article was 1981, the journal actually appeared in print in 1982. (Frequently scholarly journals fall behind in their publication schedules but continue to date issues according to the planned sequence.) Stager and Wolff’s article was written late in 1981, as a result of hearing Biran present his ideas in Dallas in December 1980.
