Summary:

This volume is part of five volumes intended to provide a better understanding of Christians and Christianity in Samaria and Judea, from the Byzantine to the Crusader periods. Here are summarized most of the church and monastery excavations conducted in Samaria and northern Judea in the last three decades. The excavations reveal that monasteries were established within fourth-century CE military structures. They further show that industrial oil presses do not date to the monastery phase at the site but rather to the Umayyad and Abbasid periods. The volume also includes a discussion of the phenomenon of iconoclasm that spread through the churches and Jewish synagogues in the Umayyad period.
