First edition of this illustrated work - the first systematic attempt at producing a dated corpus of Palestinian pottery, from the Early Bronze Age to the Late Iron Age. John Garrow Duncan (1872-1951) trained in archaeology at the University of Aberdeen and the British School at Athens, with a special interest in Egyptian and Levantine history and their relationship to biblical history. He took part in excavations run by the pioneering Egyptologist W. M. Flinders Petrie (1853-1942), especially as part of the Palestinian Exploration Fund from 1890 onwards. "Palestine has one of the longest histories of archaeological exploration in the Near East because the recovery of its material remains has been of great value in interpreting biblical literature, which in turn has shed much light on the ancient history of the Levant in general. In order to establish the chronological setting, Sir Flinders Petrie was the first Near Eastern archaeologist to devise a system of sequence dating based upon the scientific study of pottery in its stratigraphical position within a mound" (Holland, I, p. i). Duncan's book summarized these findings with a wealth of fieldwork illustrations from Gerar and Bethpelet, also including, for comparison, pottery fragments found in Tell el-Yahudiyeh and Naqada, in Egypt.
