This volume is a preliminary report of the Mount Gerizim excavations, which began over a quarter of a century ago and continue to the present day. The excavations are part of a comprehensive study of Samaria, which has included extensive excavations of Roman-period Neapolis (modern Shechem) and Roman- and Byzantine-period Samaritan sites. The present volume comprises seven chapters, each discussing a different aspect of the site, including layout, private construction, the sacred precinct, Mount Gerizim versus the Temple Mount at Jerusalem, Samaritan material culture and halakhic observance, Hebrew and Aramaic inscriptions, and the site during the Roman and Byzantine periods.
