Octavo (10-3/4" x 8-3/4"). 2 volumes. (10), 283, (1); (8), (284)-736pp. Dark blue boards illustrated with color photos, spines lettered in yellow and white. Text illustrated throughout with drawings, black & white photos, ground plans and maps. An otherwise fine as new set, but one that is ex-library (with, however, minimal markings; i.e. rubber stamps on title pages and at bottoms of text blocks). "This book brings to complete and final publication two past excavations conducted at the site of Ramat Rahel. A major part of the report is devoted to publishing the results of Yohanan Aharoni's long-term excavation project at the site during the years 1954, 1956, 1959-1962. The renewal of excavations at the site in 2004 triggered the need to reevaluate the site's architecture and stratigraphy, and from that the idea to publish this report was born."
