The research group »Archaeology of the Levant« examines the development of the societies of the Levant from the beginnings of sedentism in the Neolithic period, the emergence of the first urban centres and the ›first globalisation‹ of trade and the political contacts in the Bronze Age, up until the formation of the Israelite kingdoms in the Iron Age and their dissolution in the great empires (ca. 10,000–586 BC). The Austrian excavations at Tel Lachisch (Israel) form a focal point of the research.
