AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Biran sumarizes the excavations and the findings from the seven different areas excavated at Tel Dan. Only one area, the 1985 excavations from area B, are described as reaching the Pottery Neolithic levels, although Gopher and Greenberg (eHRAF document no. 8) states Pottery Neolithic levels were reached in areas B, M, and T in the 1984 and 1985 seasons.
