Israelite Identity and the Formation of the Israelite Polities in the Iron I–IIA Central Canaanite Highlands

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Summary This study aims to discuss the formation of Israelite identity vis-à-vis the formation of the Israelite monarchies (Israel, Judah), while highlighting its kinship association. In order to do so, I first discuss the material remains and settlement patterns in the Iron I?IIA central Canaanite Highlands and the adjacent valleys (Jezreel, Beth-Shean and the central Jordan). Consequently, and in light of the archaeological discussion, I further elaborate on biblical and extra biblical textual sources that may shed light on the nature of Israelite identity and its consolidation vis-à-vis the process of state formation.
