“…This is an observation shared by all scholars dealing with Persian period finds in Jerusalem (Kenyon 1963: 15;; Carter 1999: 285;; Eshel 2000: 341;; Lipschits 2003: 330-331;; 2005: 212;; 2006: 32;; 18 JOURNAL OF HEBREW SCRIPTURES Schniedewind 2003;; 2004: 165-178;; Grabbe 2004: 25;; Geva 2007b: 56-57;; Finkelstein 2008: 501-504). Finkelstein (2008) interpreted the finds from Persian period Jerusalem as evidence that the city was very small during this period. In light of the observations of Ariel and Shoham (2000: 138) and Reich and Shukron (2007: 64), he claimed that throughout the Persian and early Hellenistic periods activity on the Temple Mount was minimal, the northern as well as the southern parts of the ridge of the City of David were uninhabited, and the settlement was confined to the central part of the ridge, between Shiloh's Area G in the north and Areas D and E in the south.…”

The Babylonian, Persian and early Hellenistic periods are unique in the history of Judah. They represent a kind of "interlude" between two periods of greatness and political independence. This article discusses the archaeological finds from Jerusalem in the Persian and Early Hellenistic periods. It includes an assessment of the scope of the built-up area of the city, and an estimate of the city's population, on the basis of the archaeological data. This article's emphasis on the importance of the Ophel hill as the main built-up area in the Persian and Early Hellenistic period is unique in present archaeological and historical research of ancient Jerusalem.

“…the fragile buildings of the Persian period were destroyed and obliterated and the pottery broken and dispersed". Yet, as I showed in my original article (Finkelstein 2008), large sectors of the City of David did not yield any pottery that dates between the late Iron II and late Hellenistic period. Moreover, had the pottery of Persian period Jerusalem been dispersed, my estimate of the size of Jerusalem at that time as covering ca.…”

This is a rejoinder to N. Na'aman, "Does Archaeology Really Deserve the Status of A ‘High Court’ in Biblical and Historical Research?," B. Becking and L.L. Grabbe (eds.) Between Evidence and Ideology (OtSt, 59; Leiden: Brill, 165–183) that claims that although archaeological evidence can be fragmentary and may be misinterpreted, when solid data from well-excavated sites is compared to assumptions regarding the nature of biblical texts and their date of compilation, the former should prevail, at least until tested by new archaeological evidence or extra-biblical texts.

Este breve artigo, têm como objetivo discorrer sobre elementos constituintes de identidades que geram e criam fronteiras, mediante processos dicotômicos, concepções binárias e discursos de transformações, mudanças, originalidade e liberação parcial do sagrado. Para esse fim, nossa análise se valerá de aspectos sociológicos, filosóficos e hermenêuticos. A análise que aqui faremos, trata-se de um recorte interpretativo, a partir das chamadas “memórias de Neemias” e sua importância no processo de formação da identidade da nova comunidade judaíta, que culminou no surgimento do Judaísmo Primitivo. Dentre outras possibilidades, destacamos três elementos característicos e presentes na concepção e formação dessa nova identidade, a saber: a ficção de pertença, estereótipos e rupturas (cisão). Concluímos que nos processos de formação da identidade de grupos religiosos, duas frentes são indispensáveis: (1) o próprio elemento religioso e; (2) o elemento político.
