Fritz (1995) discussed the history of Israel regarding the city and how it evolved over time.

He starts in the early Bronze Age 11 (2950 B.C.-2650 B.C.) and ends at the beginning of the

Common Era covering 3000 years. Fritz traces the location, layout, size, architecture, building

materials and water supply of Israelite cities as well as their economics, social organization,

administration, culture and everyday life. Fritz's book is also based on archaeological research

while using the Bible to confirm the archaeological discoveries.
