Excavations at Dor, Final Report, Vol. I A: Areas A and C, Introduction and Stratigraphy
Qedem Reports 1 and 2 present the final report of Areas A and C at Tel Dor, excavated in 1980-1987. The excavations at Dor provide an unparalleled opportunity to study a major Phoenician harbor town on the eastern Mediterranean coast. The excavations revealed a large planned city of the Persian and Hellenistic periods, built in typically Phoenician techniques and fortified by a strong wall, with continued settlement in the Roman period. This volume includes descriptions of registration and surveying methods, a stratigraphic summary describing the finds of the various strata, a detailed stratigraphic report, a discussion of absolute dates, historical conclusions, a report on maritime and coastal installations, a chapter on the city coins of Dor, and a comprehensive bibliography of Tel Dor and the nearby Tel Mevorakh.
