This report summarizes the Kadesh Barnea (Tell el-Qudeirat) excavations, conducted under Rudolph Cohen's directorship between 1976 and 1982, on behalf of the Israel Department of Antiquities (now the Israel Antiquities Authority). This volume is divided into two parts. Part 1 contains the text, schematic plans, photographs and selected line drawings. Part 2 contains the top plans, sections and the plates of the line drawings of the pottery and major small finds. Chapter 1, as well as presenting the introduction to the site, also includes the summary that usually appears at the end of a site report, i.e. an overview of the main architectural, artifactual, chronological and other aspects of the Kadesh Barnea sequence.
