Permanent and temporary settlements in the south of the Lower Besor region: Two case studies
Abstract
The south of the Lower Besor region is located in the semi-arid climatic zone of southern Israel. Arrays of permanent settlements were established in the heart of the Besor region plains during three distinct periods: The Iron Age IB; The Byzantine period; and the turn of the 19th century BCE. The dominant geographic element of the Map of Urim area is a loess-covered plateau: The channel of Naḥal Besor cuts across the length of the western edge of the map and a strip of badlands runs along the eastern bank of the stream. The settlement in the north of the Map of Ze'elim area is located at the edges of the Halutza sand dunes. During the Byzantine period, there was attested human activity in approximately one third of 400 recorded sites in the part of the Halutza sand dunes region that lies within the area of the map.Keywords: Byzantine period; Iron Age IB; Lower Besor region; Map of Urim; Naḥal Besor cuts; southern Israel

Further to the north-west, the southernmost settlement line in the Late Bronze Age can be found in the mounds along Nahal Besor, while in both the Middle Bronze II-III and the Iron I-IIA it stretches farther to the south.
“Further to the north-west, the southernmost settlement line in the Late Bronze Age can be found in the mounds along Nahal Besor, while in both the Middle Bronze II-III and the Iron I-IIA it stretches farther to the south (for the Middle Bronze Age, see FINKELSTEIN and LANGGUT 2014; for the early Iron Age, see GAZIT 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
