Notes

Six contiguous yearly issues of quarterly statements, containing archaeological reports and a great deal of mapping detail, as well as separately-paginated sections outlining the finances and membership of the Palestine Exploration Fund, a society for the study of Biblical Palestine and the Levant. The society itself was founded in 1865, following the first Ordnance Survey of the city of Jerusalem; its publication was the impetus for a wider survey of the Levant region and mapping and excavating ancient sites was the main activity of the fund in its first decades.
