Research description
Highland polity centred on Jerusalem whose tenth-century scale and timing of centralization remain debated. The record preserves the distinction between source label, archaeological pattern, political formation, and later identity.
Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Polity extent uncertain
A polity is historically supported but its direct-control boundary cannot be drawn precisely.
