Steven A Rosen

Steven A Rosen (Steve Rosen) is the Canada Chair in Near Eastern Archaeology in the Archaeological Division of the Department of Bible, Archaeology and Ancient Near East at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He serves as the Vice President for External Affairs. His research has focused on two general areas, the continued use of chipped stone tools in the periods during which metals were already exploited (the Chalcolithic, Bronze, and Iron Ages), and the archaeology of mobile pastoralists, using the Negev (the southern desert of Israel) as an in-depth case study.
