Archeology assignment
Description of the assignment. Your mission is to locate information pertinent to an event recorded in the Old Testament. You may find an ancient text which correlates with the biblical account. You may locate the photo or description of an archeological artifact which was found at a site mentioned in the biblical text. Perhaps you will even talk with a scholar who has done research during an excavation. You may consult the resources listed to the left, including leaving messages for other students. Who knows? Maybe someone else will have access to just the information you are needing! The more types of information you can find, the better your grade, so don't stop with one little bitty encyclopedia article! After you have done your research, you will report the evidence in the form of a typed report turned into me during class. The report must be documented: you must cite references when you quote them, and you must list your references at the end of your report.
Suggested topics
Here are a few of the many possibilities you could try:
  • Route of the Exodus
  • Destruction of Jericho
  • Earliest Hebrew documents
  • City of David
  • Assyrian warfare
  • Babylonian mythology
  • Philistine cities
