	King David's palace found? Scholars differ \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Amihai Mazar, a professor of archaeology at Hebrew University, calls the find "something of a miracle." He says he believes that the building may be the Fortress of Zion that David is said to have conquered, which he renamed the City of David.
		Amihai Mazar is Eilat Mazar's second cousin, but he has his own reputation to protect.
		Eilat Mazar believes she has found a riposte: a large public building, with at least some pottery of the time, and a bulla, or governmental seal, of an official – Jehucal (or Jucal), son of Shelemiah, son of Shevi – who is mentioned at least twice in the Book of Jeremiah.

	Plagiarism, Example from Walter Kaiser
		No reference to Mazar is made in the text, in a citation or in a footnote (this would avoid the charge of not giving credit for ideas, but it would not avoid the charge of borrowing Mazar’s words without using quotation marks).
		Mazar is cited in a footnote for the previous paragraph, but this is not sufficient as a) different pages are being referenced than what is cited and b) the citation clearly limits Mazar as a source for that particular paragraph.
		This is poor plagiarism: Note that Kaiser (apparently in a quick reading) states the opposite of Mazar with regard to the discovery of Khirbet Kerak pottery at Ebla.

		Archaeologist Benjamin Mazar, excavating here in the late 1940s and 1950s, identified it with the "Sea of Joppa" where the cedarwood from Lebanon for the temples of Solomon and Zerubbabel arrived.
		Excavation beginning in 1971 under Amihai Mazar, nephew of Benjamin Mazar, has uncovered three Philistine temples built in succession on top of one another over a time span of approximately 180 years.
		The destruction of the settlement and this final temple may be attributed to the conquest of Philistia by David, according to both Benjamin Mazar and Amihai Mazar.

		So now we have a situation where there doesn't seem to be much change after the invasion from before and there doesn't seem to be much evidence that what is termed Philistine ware was restricted to the area generally accepted to be Philistia.
		It seems, therefore, that the Philistine population - as was the case with the Myceneans - did not have a crystallized tradition of religious architecture." (Mazar p.
		Again this doesn't seem to ring warning bells as it did with Aharoni, that something is terribly wrong with the scenario that a strange people arrived in the area at the beginning of the Iron Age.

	Fortifications and Cult Centers
		At Ekron, one of the main cities in the Philistine Pentapolis, excavations show that the Philistines transformed what was once a Canaanite city-state in the Late Bronze Age into a fifty-acre city with large public edifices and industrial quarters (Mazar 310).
		Additionally, the Israelites mostly lived in small, unwalled villages on hilltops, and houses were generally confined to small, four-roomed courtyard houses, which were clustered closely together (Dever 5).
		Thus, as Amihai Mazar, asserts, “The Philistines, as well as perhaps other Sea Peoples, were responsible for the continuation of urban life in Palestine during the twelfth and eleventh centuries, B.C.” (313).
