Summary:This book has been arranged so that one can read the introductory material in the first five chapters and then study information on those archaeological sites that are most attractive to the individual. For classroom instruction or for individual research, I have suggested topics for further investigation and have included useful bibliographic information for each site or chapter. The basic material presented in the text is intended to stimulate interest in acquiring further knowledge, according to individual interests, and I wanted you to be able to pursue those interests easily. Biblical Archaeology in Focus should mark the beginning, rather than the end, of an interest in the subject. - Preface.
