Amnon Ben-Tor

Amnon Ben-Tor (born 1935, Hebrew: אמנון בן-תור) is an Israeli archaeologist and professor emeritus of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is known for his excavations of Tel Hazor, and for his middle of the road approach to biblical validity considering the unified kingdom of David and the conquest of the land of Israel as probably true, though shaped by theology. In 2019 he was awarded the Israel Prize for archaeology.[1]
