Abstract

The Philistines hung King Saul’s lifeless, headless body on Beth Shean’s wall, according to the Bible. A major city of King Solomon’s administrative districts was located here too. What can archaeology tell us about Beth Shean? The most recent excavator reviews 6,000 years of history at the site and shares some of the most fascinating finds, including “grotesque” anthropoid coffins. But what of the wall?
