Book excerpt: Few records survive from Raymond-Charles Weill's excavations of the early Zionist tombs of Tel Gezer in central Israel. The finds, which have no context, are all that survive. This volume examines the finds in order to discover as much as possible about the excavation whilst making comparison with material recovered from contemporary tombs elsewhere in Israel. The book includes specialist reports, with illustrated catalogues, of the pottery assemblage; the stone, fiance, bone and metal objects; an 18th-Dynasty glass vessel; and the glyptic finds. An additional preliminary report discusses the initial results of a project to CT scan five selected vessels.
