Does archaeology shed any light on the Hebrew Bible? Is there any archaeological evidence for the events depicted in the text? What more can we learn about the history of ancient Israel from other texts and discoveries? This course will seek to address these and other questions as we focus on the history and archaeology of the eastern Mediterranean region from the Neolithic period (8500 BCE) through the Roman period (100CE), with special attention to the periods generally associated with ancient Israel, early Judaism, and early Christianity. In addition, archaeological technique and history will be explored.
