Buildings and the use of space

The paper concerns Site 49 in the Ramot neighborhood of Be’er Sheva‘ and two Iron Age IIB-C buildings: a dwelling and a neighboring storage building. The full place name connects a bibliographic citation with this particular site report. 1.

Start with the descriptions of the buildings and the relationships between spaces. Ask what documentation connects a floor, a collapse layer and pottery, and how the proposed use of each part of a building is justified. The function of a room is an archaeological inference supported by several kinds of evidence.

These notes draw on the research page and abstract. Page details identify the main Hebrew text and English summary. Consult the original publication for plans, finds and the full discussion; the library’s guide to layers explains questions about stratigraphic relationships.
