Tel Dover (Kh. ed-Duweir) is strategically situated at the southern tip of the Golan, on the northwestern bank of the perennial Yarmuk River, northeast of its confluence with the Jordan River. From July until September 1997, large-scale rescue excavations were conducted at Tel Dover, prior to the planned construction of a dam and water reservoir on the Yarmuk River. This volume focuses on the Late Bronze and Iron Age levels. Stratigraphy and architecture are dealt with in detail and are richly illustrated (chap. 2). Subsequent chapters present ceramic assemblages (chap. 3) and small finds (chap. 4-7) and the remains of mortuary offerings and canid burials (chap. 8). The study is supplemented by appendices on shells, human skeletal remains and petrographic analysis of Iron Age vessels.
