Abstract
The article discusses the way biblical-era nomadic societies have been treated in biblical archaeology. Topics discussed include identification of various kingdoms in the archaeological record and the assessment of their political organization; monumentality in the 10th century BCE or the absolute chronology of the early Iron Age and information on the biblical Edom, which was centered in the Arabah Valley and achieved a high level of social complexity.
