  • remembering a Sacred Place the depositional history of hilazon tachtit a natufian burial cave
    Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Hadas Goldgeier, Natalie D. Munro, Leore Grosman
    Abstract:

    Abstract Hilazon Tachtit Cave served as a cemetery for at least 28 individuals and an arena for interment rituals and other activities. The nature of the activities in the cave, their frequency and their recurrence over time, demonstrate that this site was an important Sacred Place on the Late Natufian (ca. 12,000 cal. BP) landscape of the western Galilee of Israel. Using a GIS-based approach, we examine the distribution and density of small flint chips and other microartifacts within the site to ascertain the location, timing and intensity of activities. From this, we reconstruct the depositional history and the order of burial and ritual events in the cave. We then explore the role of collective memory in the formation and continued use of the cave as a unique cemetery. Our results show that the memory of the initial burial event shaped the future use of the cave, its importance as a site for human burial and ritual performance, and its Place as a Sacred locale for the Late Natufian community.

  • framing spatial religious conflicts the case of mormon development in jerusalem
    Tijdschrift voor economische en sociale geografie, 2015
    Co-Authors: Michal Ben Gal, Noga Collinskreiner, Deborah F. Shmueli
    Abstract:

    The paper's aims are twofold: first to present framing methodology as an approach which provides insights into conflicts stemming from the construction of new religious sites. Second, to analyse the Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center, using framing in order to understand the spatial-religious conflicts involved in its establishment. The findings fall within three frame categories (‘super-frames’) identified in the research: ‘process’, ‘values’, and ‘issues’. The findings reveal that the discord surrounding the BYU Center had to do primarily with process and the values, and not around the issues themselves. The methodology provides a typology for understanding and analysing the different stories told by stakeholders involved in spatial-religious conflicts where the decision adopted might be perceived as endangering identity and ‘sense of Place’. The typology may be helpful in the analysis of similar disputes elsewhere, and shed light on ways to reframe conflicts over Sacred Place
