chapter The Rise of Early Israel Archaeology and Long-Term History / Israel Finkelstein -- chapter had a dimorphic structure, but the northern one was more sedentary and the southern one more pastoral. The emergence of large political entities in the highlands in the Middle Bronze was again connected with impressive population growth, expan-sion into the inhospitable regions, which were conducive only to horticul-tural activity, and development of specialized agriculture, which required balancing institutions to control the flow of commodities. Demand for these commodities by the sophisticated lowland centers, and possibly by Egypt, must have played a major role in this process. The Canaanite-Egyptian con-nection is revealed by studies of pottery uncovered at Tell ed-Daba in the Delta. It is worth mentioning that the only highland political entities mentioned If we accept the identification of Bit Ninurta of EA 290 with Beth Horon, -- in the Amarna letters of the 14th century (a period of severe decline in the highlands) are Shechem and Jerusalem. This is the first period which offers clues about the border between the two units of the highlands. The territory of Shechem extended at least to the Dothan Valley in the north and to the coastal plain in the west. The political involvement of Shechem -- chapter Keith W. Whitelam The Search for Early Israel: Historical Perspective -- chapter thiness of the Bible. He goes on to say that 'By the 1880s, scholars of the Near Orient in the United States saw their studies in the front lines of a defense of the Old Testament. They also believed that a scientifically de-fended history of the Israelites would fit in with the histories of other an-cient peoples and merge with the story of the West. They wanted a defen-sible spiritual basis for human history and sought to link it to a story that would explain present society.' It is in the period at the tum of the century -- that a distinctive American interpretation begins to emerge in contrast to the dominant German model Sasson 1981: 11). Sasson describes it as an attempt to recapture the aspirations of the founding fathers while resur- recting Jeffersonian ideals enunciated in the Declaration of Independence.

"The origin of Israel, their settlement in the land of Canaan and transformation into an organized kingdom is one of the most stimulating and controversial chapters in the history of ancient Israel. In this volume, three of the researchers who have presented key models regarding this era--Finkelstein, Whitelam, and Kitchen--offer their latest thinking and are critiqued by a panel of other scholars, using biblical, historical, archaeological, anthropological and comparative Near Eastern data. An important introduction to the debate over this crucial question."--Provided by publisher.
