Hi Uri,

The so-called altar is on Mt. Ebal, not Gerizim. In any case since the
Samarian tradition is that Joshua built his altar an Mt. Gerizim, Zertal's
site is not relevant to the issue.

   What about Adam Zartel's Altar site there?   His argument  does not seem
to have total support, but neither total denial  (a la Kempinski!).

   The findings of large number of "Clean" animal bones near the site would
seem to validate his argument for an existence of a cultic site  there,
obviously much earlier than the Persian period.
