The Four Room House: Embodying Iron Age Israelite Society
Abstract
The four-room house was the typical dwelling in the southern Levant during the Iron Age. Its widespread use both in time and space raises many questions about its origins, its function, and mostly intriguingly, about who lived in it. Did the four-room house form the quintessential Israelite home? The authors believe the answer to this question is yes!

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.
