	Tel Yarmuth is a major archaeological site of the southern Levant, located 25\&nbsp;km south-west of Jerusalem. In the\&nbsp;Early Bronze Age, it was the largest\&nbsp;fortified city-state of this region. Long after its abandonment around 2400\&nbsp;BCE, it\&nbsp;was reoccupied on the acropolis only, which remained settled more or\&nbsp;less continuously from the Middle Bronze Age\&nbsp;II (17th-16th cent. BCE) to the\&nbsp;Early Byzantine Period (4th\&nbsp;cent. CE). The site is identified with\&nbsp;the biblical settlement\&nbsp;of Yarmuth and the Byzantine village of Iermochos. This\&nbsp;volume is the first monograph of the final publication of the\&nbsp;excavations\&nbsp;conducted between 1980 and 2009. It is devoted to the excavations on the acropolis\&nbsp;where the entire\&nbsp;settlement history of Yarmuth was established. It provides an\&nbsp;account of those excavations, a detailed presentation of\&nbsp;the stratigraphy,\&nbsp;extensive descriptions of the pottery and the various archaeological artefacts\&nbsp;and ecofacts, and a\&nbsp;discussion of the archaeological and biblical contexts of\&nbsp;the site{\textquoteright}s history. The continuous archaeological sequence\&nbsp;from the Late Bronze\&nbsp;II to the end of the Iron Age I (c. 1200-950 BCE) is especially noteworthy. It\&nbsp;illustrates the fate\&nbsp;of a Canaanite village in the shadow of larger regional\&nbsp;centers during the momentous centuries that witnessed the\&nbsp;decline of the\&nbsp;Canaanite polities, the rise of the Philistine city-states and the emergence of\&nbsp;the kingdom of Judah.
