Abstract
Après les travaux pionniers (1946-1960) du Père Roland de Vaux, directeur de l’École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem, à Tell el-Far‘a, au nord-est de la ville de Naplouse (Palestine), un nouveau projet conjoint international de recherche archéologique a été lancé en 2017 par l’Université de La Corogne, l’Université NOVA de Lisbonne et le Ministère du Tourisme et des Antiquités de Palestine. Les trois campagnes menées à ce jour ont fourni de nouvelles données sur l’âge du Fer IIA, en particulier sur la datation absolue d’une maison de la période VIIb du site. Pour le moment, il ne s’agit que de cinq dates par radiocarbone (AMS) obtenues pour cette période. Ce sont les premières que nous avons de ce site, clé pour avancer sur la question complexe de la chronologie absolue en Palestine au début du Ier millénaire av. J.-C. Bien que les données ne doivent pas être considérées comme définitives, elles indiquent une date du début du Xe siècle av. J.-C. pour la “Maison A”, qui a été fouillée en 2017-2019 à Tell el-Far‘a (VIIb).
Through pioneering work (1946-1960) of Father Roland de Vaux, former director of the École biblique et archéologique française in Jerusalem at Tell el-Far'a, north east of Nablus (Palestine), the new international and joint archaeological research Project was launched in 2017, led by the University of A Coruña, the NOVA University, Lisbon, and the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Palestine. Until the present day, the three archaeological seasons have revealed new data concerning Iron Age IIA, particularly the absolute dating related with a house of period VIIb of the site. Until now, we are dealing with only five dates of radiocarbon (AMS) concerning that same period, the first ones concerning Tell el-Far'a, key data to the complex issue of absolute chronologie in Palestine at the beginning of 1st millennium BC. Not being definitive, these data, however, refer to a date belonging to the 10th century BC related with “House A”, excavated in 2017-2019 at Tell el-Far'a (VIIb).
