The recovery of the history of the ancient Near East through archaeology is one of the major achievements of the modern age. The impact of this new knowledge on biblical matters is surveyed with special focus on archaeological methods. Lance discusses the principles of excavation and how archaeological discoveries are applied biblical studies.
