The volume presents the results of a detailed survey of north-western Samaria in Israel/Palestine. It is the third volume of the Manasseh Hill Country Survey publications. This project, in progress from 1978 and covering 2500 sq. km, is a thorough mapping of the archaeological-historical area between the River Jordan and the Sharon Plain and between Nahal 'Iron and the Dead Sea. The survey is a valuable tool for scholars of the Bible, Archaeology, Near Eastern history and other aspects of the Holy Land. This volume describes the area between Nahal 'Iron (Wadi 'Ara) in the north and Nahal Shechem (Wadi She'ir) in the south. It is a fully revised and updated version of the Hebrew publication of 2000.

Among his other achievements are the discoveries and interpretations of several excavated sites, including the Iron Age 1 altar on Mt. Ebal, the city of el-Ahwat (possibly of the Shardana of the Sea-Peoples), the city of Khirbet Hamam (Narbata of Josephus), and the sandal-shaped Gilgalim in the Jordan Valley. Until now, five volumes of the survey have been published in Hebrew and three in English. He passed away in October 2015, aged 79. Nivi Mirkam, the co-author, who took part in the survey from its beginning and contributed many ideas and much help in the organization of the project. He passed away in January 2004, aged 61.
