Ehud Netzer Special Collection

Ehud Netzer

Ehud Netzer, the world’s leading authority on Herodian architecture and a prominent Israeli archaeologist, died on October 27, 2010 from a fall at Herodium where he had been digging for 38 years, in search of Herod’s tomb. Herod was the ancient world’s builder par excellence. And it could be said that Herod’s architectural achievements were Netzer’s obsession. In his long career, Netzer worked at Herodium, Jericho, Masada and numerous other sites, including Hazor, Sepphoris, Caesarea and Jerusalem. Netzer was a member of BAR’s editorial advisory board for 30 years and frequently wrote for the magazine.

The articles below were hand-selected by the Biblical Archaeology Review editors especially for Members of the BAS Library.
