The project investigates the developments in the handling of agricultural resources in the southern Levant from the beginning of the Bronze Age to the end of the Iron Age (ca. 3600–586 BC). During the first phase of funding, the focus was on agriculture as a resource. During the second phase, the aspect of animal husbandry was added. In the third phase of funding, nutrition as a culturally differentiating and culture-forming feature is to be combined with the agricultural ResourceComplex, to which it stands in a reciprocal relationship, in order to understand the meaning of the ResourceCultures of Palestine.
