BLISS, FREDERICK JONES°
BLISS, FREDERICK JONES° (1859–1937), British archaeologist. The son of a missionary, Bliss taught for a time at the Syrian Protestant College, Beirut. On behalf of the palestine exploration fund , he excavated at Tell al-Ḥasī (1891), Jerusalem (1894–97), and (in collaboration with R.A.S. Macalister ) at various mounds in the shephelah (1899–1900). At Tell al-Ḥasī Bliss continued the work of sir william flinders petrie and in Jerusalem he discovered the walls of "Mt. Zion" and the wall enclosing the Tyropoeon Valley, in addition to many other minor discoveries. His work in the Shephelah was marked by some important finds but was too hurried to be of lasting value. His publications include Mound of Many Cities (1898); Excavations at Jerusalem 1894–1897 (1898); Excavations in Palestine 1898–1900 (1902), with R.A.S. Macalister; Development of Palestine Exploration (1906); and Religions of Modern Syria and Palestine (1912). (Michael Avi-Yonah)
