Discoveries in the Judaean Desert: Volume XXIV. Wadi Daliyeh I - The Wadi Daliyeh Seal Impressions

The seal impressions found at Wadi ed-Daliyeh near Qumran were originally clay seals fixed to the Samaria Papyri (legal documents dated to the mid-fourth century BCE). They provide a rare glimpse of the cultural influences to which one area of Palestine was exposed before the coming of Alexander. This volume presents a catalogue and analysis of the legible sealings and two gold rings in the collection of the Rockefeller Museum, Jerusalem.
