This website remains unique in biblical archaeology since its focus is upon the whole field of biblical archaeology in its quest to learn more about the culture of biblical peoples.

Objectives

The key objectives of this website are:

• To serve as a clearinghouse for helps in the study of biblical archaeology;

• To provide an on-line glossary of words and phrases in Levantine archaeology;

• To furnish a means of fostering positive attitudes about biblical archaeology; 

• To promote biblical archaeology as a discipline;

• To provide stimuli for discussion, reading, and study; 

• To address salient issues in relation to the larger sociocultural, economic, and political forces existing at the local, regional, national, and global levels; and 

• To engage in advocacy, particularly that related to biblical understanding, as we consider important.

Why This Site

Our aim is to keep you informed of advances in biblical archaeology and to provide general information about our discipline. While there are numerous archaeology websites information gaps exist because:

1. Other websites do not specialize in biblical archaeology as a holistic field.

2. Archaeologists, students, and other users find bits and pieces of technical information on some web sites and then have to integrate their research off-line.

3. Most websites containing biblical archaeology information limit their focus to pre-Herodian times.

4. Some websites simply seek to recruit volunteers as excavation workers.
