Ruth Amiran (Hebrew: רות עמירן; née Brandstetter; December 8, 1914 – December 14, 2005) was an Israeli archaeologist whose book Ancient Pottery of the Holy Land: From Its Beginnings in the Neolithic Period to the End of the Iron Age which was published in 1970 is a standard reference for archaeologists working in Israel.[1]

Ruth Amiran was born in the moshava Yavne'el in the Galilee area of the Ottoman Empire. In 1908 her father Yehezkel Brandshteter had immigrated from Tarnów in Poland (Galicia) to the area, where he married her mother Devora in 1913. She went to school in Haifa and became later in 1933 one of the first students of Archeology at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.[citation needed] She excavated alongside Judith Marquet-Krause at et-Tell.[2][3]

Awards[edit]

Amiran received the Israel Prize in 1982.
