Foreword
During the years 2014–2015, the Ackerman Family from South Africa, provided a gen-
erous donation to the Tell es-Safi/Gath Archaeological Project (directed by A.M.M.),
on the basis of which the project was renamed the
“Ackerman
Family Bar-Ilan Uni-
versity Expedition to Gath” for that period. In addition to providing funding for the
research activities of the project, the Ackerman Family’s support included two other
important aspects
funding for stipends to college students from throughout
the world (from 6 continents!) to join the excavation team, and a
professional meeting dealing with biblical archaeology. And in fact, on Wednesday-
Thursday, April 15th–16th, 2015, the
“Ackerman
Family Workshop in Biblical
Archaeology” took place, which included a first day of lectures at Bar-Ilan University
(Fig. 1), followed by a field trip to archaeological sites in the Shephelah (Judean Foot-
hills) and Philistia. Approximately 50 scholars from Israel and abroad participated in
the workshop.

The topic chosen for the workshop was the Late Bronze Age in Canaan and its vicin-
ity. Recent excavations, particularly in southern Israel, but in other regions both in
Israel and neighboring countries, have provided a wealth of new and exciting dis-
coveries relating to the Late Bronze Age (ca. late 16th to early 12th centuries BCE).
This workshop provided a unique opportunity to bring together a rather large group
