Hesban 8: Byzantine and Early Islamic  Strata:
A Study of the Stratigraphy of Tell Hesban from the 4th to the 10th Centuries A.D.

by Bjornar Storfjell (Andrews University)

A layer-by-layer account with numerous plans and photographs of the discoveries made in Tell Hesban's six Byzantine and Early Islamic strata (4th to 10th centuries A.D.).  These discoveries are interpreted in the light of contemporary, natural, cultural, and historical events.  Important finds include a Byzantine church and an earlier Roman temple.  New evidence for a rather smooth transition to the Islamic period at the site is also presented.
