Reconstructing the History of Archaeological Research at Tel Lachish
Author(s): Daniel Perez; Jon Carroll
Year: 2016
Summary
Reconstructing the history of archaeological research at Tel Lachish, an archaeological site in southern Israel, has proven to be a challenging task. The need to synthesize large volumes of data produced over decades of research has resulted in the creation of a spatial database using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. This paper touches on the data collection of the previous three expeditions to Tel Lachish, but primarily discusses current data collection methods, as well as successes and challenges in establishing and maintaining historical excavation data for the current expedition to the site, The Fourth Expedition to Lachish.
