Description

The Southern Levant Under Assyrian Domination is a comprehensive study of how Neo-Assyrian rule influenced the demographics, economy, and culture of the region. This collection of essays integrates archaeological and textual perspectives to reexamine the "Assyrian Peace" paradigm and provide new insights into life under Assyrian hegemony. The book draws on extensive archaeological data from the Land of Israel and its surroundings, as well as a systematic survey of Assyrian texts that mention the region or sites therein. The contributors employ diverse approaches to topics such as the description of Assyrian encroachment in biblical texts, the Judean experience of Assyrian control, and the architecture of hospitality. This volume is an important contribution to the study of Assyrian rule and empires writ large, offering a nuanced understanding of the demography, economy, architecture, and intellectual life of the southern Levant during this period.
