List of archaeological sites in the Gaza Strip

There are more than 300 archaeological sites in the Gaza Strip.[1] The Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa database contains information on 166 of these sites.[2] The sites span the Chalcolithic (Taur Ikhbeineh) to the contemporary period (Al-Ahli Arab Hospital).

Archaeological sites in Palestine have been administered by various organisations. The Department of Antiquities during the British Mandate in Palestine from 1920 to 1948; from 1948 to 1994 the administration of sites in the Gaza Strip was separate to those in the West Bank and were controlled first by Egypt and then by Israel from 1967. In 1994, the Palestinian Department of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage was established,[3] with a branch in the Gaza Strip.[4]

During the British Mandate, there was significant archaeological work in Palestine but it was comparatively limited in Gaza. British-led small-scale excavations took place at Tell Harubah (the predecessor to Gaza City) in the 1920s, and in the 1930s Flinders Petrie led excavations at Tell el-Ajjul. While under Egyptian rule there were no major excavations in the Gaza Strip. During the Israeli occupation archaeologists from the university in Beersheba conducted fieldwork at Deir al-Balah and Tell Ruqeish. Archaeologists Jean-Baptiste Humbert and Moain Sadeq suggest the impact of war, different administrations with different archaeological interests and priorities, and a lack of Biblical archaeology have contributed to a relative lack of interest in the region's sites from archaeologists.[5]
