to Conquest of Canaan Found
by Expedition Led by Dr. Biran

TEL AVIV (JTA) — The dis-
covery of the remains of a settle-

to the 12th Century BCE and con-
firming the Biblical account of the
conquest of the Canaanite town of
La'ish by the tribe of Dan, was
announced here by Dr. Avraham
Biran, director of Israel's depart-
ment of antiquities.

In Loving Memory of Our

Dear and Precious Mother

FRANCES ROTH

JUNE 21, 1962

We are sad within our
memory
Lonely are our hearts today
For the one we loved so
dearly
Has forever gone away.
We think of her in silence
No eye may see us weep
But many silent tears are
shed
When others are asleep.
For she was the one who
understood
Who shared in all we would
do
The "Captain of our Ship"
who made our dreams come
true.
The years may wipe out many
things
But this they wipe out never
The memory of those happy
days
When we were all together,
"Dearest One."

der, said that the group had un-
covered a charred floor at the site
of a level dating to the 12th Cen-
tury BCE which was the period
of the Israelite judges after Joshua
had settled most of the Israelites
in Canaan.
He said that the find had con-
firmed the account in Chapter
18 of the Book of Judges describ-
ing how the tribe of Dan con-
quered and destroyed the town of
La'ish, built a new city on the
spot which they called Dan and
settled there as part of the ter-
ritory allotted to them as a land
inheritance.
Evidence of the prosperity of
the city in the 10th and 8th cen-
turies BCE, under the firm rule of
the House of Kings Ahab and
Jeroboam II, was seen in the fact
that the Israelites went beyond the
confines of the earlier Canaanite
town to erect a number of monu-
mental buildiri_s, Dr. Biran re-
ported.
One of the most important as-
pects of the discovery from the
archeologist's viewpoint, Dr. Biran
noted, was explanation of the cu-
rious shape of the mound which
resembles a crater rather than the
usual cone.
It was found that this shape took
form around the 17th Century BCE
in the era of the Hyksos civiliza-
tion and included a fortification
with slopping ramparts built on
either side of a six-yard-thick cen-
tral supporting wall.
The floor of the dwelling cov-
ered by a layer of ash was found
at the sixth layer of settlement
corresponding to the 11th or 12th
Century BCE.
Also found at the site was a
rare broken jar fragment dating
to the 8th Century BCE with an
inscription comprising the let-
ters Aleph, Mem and Tzadi in
the Hebrew and Phoenician
script. Dr. Biran explained the
inscription as indicating that the
jar either belonged to or was a
gift for a man named Ametz of
Amatzia, both common names
of that peroid.
Excavation of the mound, which
covers an area of 50 acres, was
carried out by eight archeologists
in the group assisted by members
of Kibbutz Dan and other laborers.
Only an eighth of an acre of the
site was probed, with further ex-
cavations planned for some future
date, Dr. Biran said.

A total of $6,274,710 was spent

tation through Training (ORT) on

ing the past year.
