Place

Where Timna sites are located

One way into the data is through the locations of archeological sites. This query does that for all the sites but could be adapted (on lines 16 remove # and choose *Qxx*) to look for other places or regions.

Archaeological Periods

Sites from Archaeological periods

One way into the data is through the archeological periods that were found. This query shows sites from the early iron age. To show other periods replace in line 15 and line 19 Q115 with a different period QXXX
