Archaeology also serves to show how a story of the Iron II period employed visible ruins to narrate supposedly early events from the so-called ""period of the Judges."" The synchronic analysis for each unit sketches its characters and main themes, as well as other literary dynamics. The diachronic, redactional analysis shows the shifting settings of units as well as their development, commonly due to their inner-textual reception and reinterpretation. The result is a remarkably fresh historical-critical treatment of 1:1-10:5.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Mark S.
