Reviews

En resume, cet ouvrage fait le point sur de nombreux dossiers en cours. L'approche est originale puisqu'elle permet d'apprehender ce materiel de maniere globale. En effet, les differentes enquetes ne se resument pas a une presentation typologique de ces terres cuites, mais insistent toutes sur la materialite et la destination de ces images, ainsi que sur leurs contextes d'utilisation. Chaque contribution accorde une large place a la methodologie suivie, ce qui guide commodement le lecteur et lui donne matiere a reflexion. Au total, il s'agit d'un ouvrage necessaire sur la coroplathie levantine. - Estelle Galbois, Universite Toulouse - Jean Jaures, in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2022.05.12 This important collection of essays provides a cutting-edge update of available southern Levantine figurines from the Iron Age until the Persian Period (1200-333 BCE). Focusing on the material profile of each find, a clarification of the typology and classification of each object is provided-as either female, male, animal, or furniture figurines-together with a description of their production, appearance, and provenance. - Sandra Jacobs, in The Society for Old Testament Study Book List 2022
