They Would Change the Dates of Clearly Stratified Inscriptions—Impossible!

By Ada Yardeni
047 Any script used over a long period of time undergoes changes, some of which may not be perceived by one unfamiliar with the development of the letter forms. In order to date a script, one has to be familiar with its style—all the details...

By Frank Moore Cross

Relics in Rubble: The Temple Mount Sifting Project

By Gabriel BarkayZachi Dvira
Jerusalem’s Temple Mount is one of the world’s holiest sites; archaeological excavations are prohibited here. But, in November 1999, the Islamic trust that controls the Islamic structures on the site bulldozed a massive area in the southeastern corner of the Temple Mount and dumped the excavated debris into the Kidron Valley. Two archaeologists are running a pioneering project to wet-sift this debris to search for Temple Mount artifacts that have been concealed for centuries.

The Dead Sea Scrolls and the People Who Wrote Them

By Frank Moore Cross
After a quarter century of discovery and publication, the study of the manuscripts from the desert of Judah has entered a new, more mature phase. True, the heat and noise of the early controversies have not wholly dissipated. One occasionally hears the agonized cry of a scholar pinned beneath a collapsed theory. And in the popular press, no doubt, the so-called battle of the scrolls will continue to be fought with mercenaries for some time to come. However, the initial period of confusion is past. From the burgeoning field of scroll research and the new disciplines it has created, certain coherent patterns of fact and meaning have emerged.

The Riches of Ketef Hinnom

Jerusalem tomb yields Biblical text four centuries older than Dead Sea Scrolls
By Gabriel Barkay
023 I’ve lived in Jerusalem for more than 59 years. I sometimes feel I can put myself in the shoes (or minds) of ancient Jerusalemites. I think I can tell better than most where these ancient Jerusalemites would have located different facilities...
