During the 19th and 20th centuries a wealth of sites in Galilee from pre- and proto-history onwards become known, mainly through surveys. Making use of additional identification sources such as historical documents from the biblical until the Ottoman periods and pilgrims' travelogues of every faith, the author of this work has made an inventory of all ancient sites now known in Galilee. The book is divided into 32 regions, each represented by a map. Each map has its sites numbered. The accompanying lists explain all sites chronologically, and identify the names the sites have carried in subsequent periods.

Editorial Reviews
Review
'..".Grootkerk's gazetteer is particularly valuable for those wishing to visit the archaeological sites of the Galilee. His book is nothing less than an exhaustive compendium of every known site for each section of the Galilee and reflects his enormously detailed knowledge of the regionGrootkerk's work is an invaluable resource for understanding the Galilee, Grootkerk, moreover, should be commended for including data from many obscure maps prepared during the last two hundred years. The book contains an invaluable three page of bibliography of cartographic sources, which will assist those interested in locating the original materials upon which this study is based. Grootkerk's work is of particular value to biblical scholars, archaeologists, and historians interested in studying the archaeological history of the Galilee. This gazetteer should occupy a place on the shelf of every research library.'
Kenneth Atkinson, "Review of Biblical Literature, 2001.
'"This is not a book for the casual reader. It is instead a highly useful, [] resource that will provide critical information for archaeologists and historians interested in ancient Galilee. The work presents the most comprehensive catalogue of sites of human occupation and activity in Acnient Galilee that I know of and includes occupied caves and burial sites as well as towns and villages.'
