Imperial Actions and Destruction in Archaeological Sites
The chapter explores how Imperial actions are reflected in settlements and landscapes through the construction of structures to display power, often followed by destructive conquests. It discusses the impact of Imperial control on territories, focusing on the significant destruction of settlements, exemplified by the case of Tel-e-tun in the Kingdom of Juleph. The emotional and analytical aspects of excavating archaeological sites, including the detachment of archaeologists when dealing with destruction layers and human remains, are also examined.
