Tidbits - Archaeology, Real and Fake

  1. Across the Bay, one of my favorite blogs, has a devastating critique of one of the (if not THE) main pillars of Palestinian pseudo-scientific propaganda - the equation 'Palestinians=Canaanites', as well as the 'academics' who support such statements (Khalidi, Massad, Cole etc). I've said it before and I'll say it again - if you're looking for propagandists and 'party-line' historians, look no further than folks like this.
  2. Efraim Karsh comments on this sad phenomenon from a different angle in Commentary.
  3. An article on a project of paramount importance - the sifting through the Temple Mount remains dumped by the Waqf. (Yours truly participated for two days) A book on the findings up until now (the project will continue next year) is planned in the coming months.
  4. ...and a discussion of Lachish in honor of the publication of the full report of the most recent digs there (1973-1994).

That's it for now. AIWAC
