In Germany possibly Benno, officially maybe Bejamin. Beno also thinkable, but more likely adopted in Mandate Pal. or Israel. Sources? How did he sign before 1948 his photos and other publications? Arminden (talk) 12:37, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He is always Beno in Hebrew, never Benjamin, so it's highly unlikely to be his name. For one 'n' or two I've no idea, the sources use both and I don't think it's really important. Artem.G (talk) 14:30, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He is usually referred to as Beno/Benno. I also believe the National Library of Israel's archive refers to him as such. Regarding two "n" or one "n", the National Library uses two "n"s.[1]Homerethegreat (talk) 14:38, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Only the JPost article says something about archaeology, and it's anything but a reliable source. Erez Ben-Yosef, who knew him well and is a notable archaeologist himself, doesn't say it in his obituary, rather hints that he continued with unrelated subjects, maths & philosophy. Possibly the reason why he wasn't that well-accepted in Israeli academia? Arminden (talk) 23:11, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ben-Yosef (TAU obituary) totally contradicts the UCL obituary. UCL places the Arava Expedition in the Sinai (?!!) and stretches it from 1967 to 1979. Misunderstanding, wrong extrapolation? There are 3 (!) authors, at least the main one co-authored a book with him, but they don't seem to make sense, or do they?
Ben-Yosef places the Sinai survey during the first Israeli occupation, in 1956, and seems to keep it apart from the Arava Expedition. I tend to believe him, not the German co-author from London, but...
