ABSTRACT
Landscape archeology is a dynamic research method that uses a variety of techniques and research tools for field work that enables researchers to reconstruct the landscape, while at the same time using archaeological survey and excavation, fundamental elements in all archaeological field research in general. Qualitative landscape archeology research allows researchers to bring innovative perspectives to a subject and present new ways of thinking through a broad, interdisciplinary approach to the examined subject area. Battlefield archaeology, also known as archaeology of conflicts, was born out of landscape archeology during the mid-1980s. The area in which the three historical events at the center of this discussion took place includes several landscape units: The first unit is ancient Ascalon, which is an area that includes two land elevations (archaeological Tels) encircled by a rampart that was established in the Middle Bronze Age.
