This book summarizes a decade of excavations at Qumran between 1993 and 2004, 40 years after Ronald de Vaux completed his excavation of the site.

The excavations, carried out by the authors, Yitzhak Magen and the late Yuval Peleg, who died in 2014 while excavating a cave in Samaria, extended over an entire area of the site, producing thousand of finds: items of pottery, metal, glass, and stone; coins, ostraca, animal bones buried in the ground, and graves

This is the fifth volume in a series of books devoted to Christians and Christianity.
The book is dedicated to the monastery of Martyrius, excavated in the course of the construction of the city of Ma'ale Adummim. The monastery was established in the second half of the fifth century CE by Martyrius, a disciple of Euthymius, who later became the Patriarch of Jerusalem. Excavations revealed a church, four prayer chapels, a large kitchen, and a refectory—one of the largest and most complete dining rooms found in the Holy Land from the Byzantine period. Also were revealed a pilgrim hospice with a chapel, stables, and colorful mosaics with Greek inscriptions.
The site underwent conservation and restoration and is open to the general public.

This volume is part of five volumes intended to provide a better understanding of Christians and Christianity in Samaria and Judea, from the Byzantine to the Crusader periods. Here are summarized most of the church and monastery excavations conducted in Samaria and northern Judea in the last three decades. The excavations reveal that monasteries were established within fourth-century CE military structures. They further show that industrial oil presses do not date to the monastery phase at the site but rather to the Umayyad and Abbasid periods. The volume also includes a discussion of the phenomenon of iconoclasm that spread through the churches and Jewish synagogues in the Umayyad period.
