{en} Eyal Regaev. The Social Archaeology of Late Second Temple Judaea: From Purity, Burial, and Art, to Qumran, Herod, and Masada. London - New York : Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2023.

Abstract

"This book analyses social ideology and social relationships in late Second Temple Judaea, studying a range of archaeological material and sites to better understand both communal and individual trends in Jerusalem and its environs. Using several different methodologies, the book brings to light new ideas about social trends such as individualism among Jews and Judeans during the late Second Temple period. It provides in-depth analysis of the social aspects of ritual baths, burial caves, ossuaries and decorated oil lamps, as well as thorough examinations of the sites of Khirbet Qumran, Herod's palaces, and Masada during the First Jewish Revolt against Rome. Social Archaeology of the Late Second Temple Period is suitable for students and scholars interested in the history, society, and archaeology of the Jews in the Second Temple period as well as the social background of early Christianity, early Rabbinic Judaism, and Levantine archaeology."--
