Tel Beth Shean: An Account of the Hebrew University Excavations
(Beth-Shean Valley Regional Project) An excellent resource on the
archaeological history and discoveries made on the tell. It is a
summary of the excavations carried out between 1989-1996, written by the
director of the excavations, Amihai Mazar. It presents their
discoveries chronologically, organized by archaeological periods. A
stratigraphic table of the site, matching the levels of the site with
their respective time periods, is presented
here.
Beth Shan (Walking in Their Sandals) Another good introduction to
the city with some interesting facts (such as that Beth Shean is the
highest tell in Palestine) and a short bibliography. This website also
displays some pictures
here.
Beth Shean (Christian Travel Study Programs) A good introduction to
the site and its history. Includes a few pictures of some of its more
prominent aspects.
Beth Shean, the Death of Saul and more (Lion Tracks) Features a
model of the city as it looked in the Roman Period. Also provides some
pictures of the site in the springtime and a summary of the biblical
passages related to the ancient city.
Beth Shean (Scythopolis) (NET) Provides several pages of
information on the site, discussing its strategic location, various
features of the Roman city, the story of Saul, and practical information
about visiting the site. Several maps and pictures are featured.
Beit She’an (The Jewish Magazine) A magazine article covering the
history of the site and the features that can be seen when visiting
there today.
Beth Shean: Bibliography (AncientNearEast.net) A lengthy
bibliography on the site, organized by archaeological periods.
Beth She'an (Scythopolis) (Archaeological World in Roman & Greek
Period) Provides several annotated pictures that give a good feel for
the site, but unfortunately all of the pictures are stamped in the
middle with a copyright line which detracts from their value.
