Requirements for Participation

Archaeology


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This unit is designed to encourage conversation and collaboration between collaboration between archaeologists and biblical scholars. Our definition of “archaeology” is broad, so we also include papers that present historical reconstructions using archaeological and textual data. Our stated goal is for all of the participants to address how their focused research in archaeology or biblical studies relates to the work of specialists in other areas. To date our sessions have included approximately an equal number of field archaeologists and textual specialists. The sessions thus promote dialogue between the presenters and the participants in the audience. The dialogue includes hermeneutical and historical discussions. For the 2009 International Meeting in Rome we will be accepting papers for one open session on biblical archaeology (Hebrew Bible and New Testament) and one session devoted to the archaeology of the northern Levant and Mesopotamia.
