“Seymour Gitin”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Gitin attended the University at Buffalo, earning a bachelor of arts in ancient history in 1956. He then went on to the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he received a bachelor of arts in Hebrew Letters in 1959 and a master of arts in Hebrew Letters and Rabbinic Ordination in 1962.^[3] During this period, Gitin spent a year studying at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he took a course in archaeology taught by Yigael Yadin, and subsequently had his first field experience, working with Nelson Glueck on an archaeological survey of the western Negev.{{Citation needed|date=September 2017}} He also played the lead role in I Like Mike (1961), an Israeli film directed by Peter Frye.^[4]

From 1962 to 1964, Gitin served as a chaplain in the United States Air Force, stationed in Anchorage, Alaska. He then worked as a rabbi for two congregations in Southern California. From 1968 to 1970, he was the director of admissions at his alma mater HUC-JIR, during which time he entered the doctoral program in archaeology under the supervision of Nelson Glueck. In 1970, he returned to Israel to continue his studies under the supervision of William G. Dever, taking courses at the Hebrew University. Subsequently, he served as coordinator and then director of the Gezer publications project at the Nelson Glueck School of Biblical Archaeology in Jerusalem, as well as a senior lecturer and curator at the Glueck Museum at HUC-JIR Jerusalem. From 1979 to 1982, he was an adjunct professor at Brandeis University, and also the director of the joint Brandeis–ASOR archaeological programme in Israel.{{Citation needed|date=September 2017}}

In 1980, Gitin completed his doctoral dissertation, A Ceramic Typology of the Late Iron II, Persian, and Hellenistic Periods at Tell Gezer, and was awarded a PhD in Syro-Palestinian archaeology by HUC-JIR.{{Citation needed|date=September 2017}}

Albright Institute

In 1980, Gitin became the director of the Albright Institute of Archaeological Research (AIAR) in Jerusalem.{{Citation needed|date=September 2017}}

While at AIAR, Gitin and Trude Dothan directed excavations at the Phillistine city of Tel Miqne-Ekron, conducting 14 seasons between 1981 and 1996.^[5] Gitin’s research at Ekron demonstrated that, contrary to the previous scholarly consensus, the Philistines flourished in the eastern Mediterranean littoral until the late 7th century BCE, extending their documented history by 400 years.^[6]^[7] He also showed that the extensive olive oil industry at Ekron in the 7th century BCE, the largest production complex of its kind in antiquity excavated to date, was the direct result of Ekron coming under the control of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.^[8] Based on the late Phillistine sequence at Ekron, he has argued that the disappearance of the Phillistines following the destruction of their cities by the Neo-Babylonian Empire can be explained as the result of a process of acculturation.^[9]

The most significant find of the Tel Miqne excavations is the 7th century BCE Ekron royal dedicatory inscription, in which the name of the city is mentioned, confirming the identification of Tel Miqne with biblical Ekron. The inscription also contained a list of five of the kings of Ekron, two of whom are mentioned in the Neo-Assyrian Royal Annals of the late 8th and 7th centuries BCE. This makes the inscription one of the primary documents for establishing the chronology of events relating to the end of the late biblical period, especially the history of the Philistines.^[10]^[11]^[12] Gitin and Dothan are finishing the preparation of the materials from 14 seasons of excavation at Ekron for publication.^[13]
