ODED LIPSCHITS/THE LAUTENSCHLÄGER AZEKAH EXPEDITION

LOCATED AT THE BIBLICAL BATTLEGROUND between David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17:1) in the Shephelah, Azekah was an important central Judean town in the Iron Age. Excavations headed by Oded Lipschits, Manfred Oeming, and Yuval Gadot have been conducted at Azekah since 2012. Heidelberg University student Agnes von Günther presents a perfectly preserved 12th-century B.C.E. juglet.
