What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Looking for a book about an ancient city (Tel) through history. Each title is based on an artifact found at the site and story of people who lived at the time from prehistoric time up to the second world/israeli war(?). Read the book a number of times and wish I had it to read again.

James Michener's "The Source" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sour...

Andy Thank you and well done. That is the book. I look forward to reading it again!

I should reread it too - I read it back in the 1980s or so...
