New Excavations Israel—Recent excavations by the Department of Antiquities at Tel Sheikh Ahmed al-Areini (renamed Tel Gat by the Government Names Committee) tend to show that the tel Is not to be identified with Gat of the Philistines, as has been held by many scholars. According to a report by tho Department, the three seasons of excavations so far undertaken (in the summer months of 1956, 1957, and 1938) rather suggest that the tel may be the site of a town named Memshat. Archaelogieal excavations have yielded a lurge number of inscribed stamped jar handles, all belonging to the end of the Kingdom of Judah. They are stamped wim a Hebrew inscription consisting of the word " l a m c l e c h " (for the King) accompanied by one of four city names: Zif, Socoh, Heoron, and Memshat. While the sites of the first three cities are known, the fourth town Is not mentioned In the Bible, and its site has not yet been Identified. On most of the stamped jar handles found up to the present at Tel Gat traces of the name Memshat are visible. If future excavations should bring proof that the Identification of Tel Sheikh el-Arelni with Momshat Is correct, the whole problem of the boundaries between Judah and the Philistine city kingdoms will havo to be re-examined. CANADA NAMES BAY FOR JEWISH LEADER Regina, Sask., (JTA)—Canada's Department of Natural Resources has named a bay one and a half miles long for Nathan Friedman, a Saskatchewan pioneer and^ active mmber of the Regina Jewish community.
