| Abstract: | Kuntillet 'Ajrud, on the Negev-Sinai border, is a religious centre or a way-side shrine from about 800 B.C. The site contains a main rectangular building with a white plastered Bench-room, in which most of the finds were made. The most important of these are inscriptions and drawings on pottery vessels, on wall plaster and stones. The motifs of the drawings are closely connected with the inscriptions and other finds which clearly have a religious character. They too have, in our view, a cultic meaning. |
