An excerpt from world-famous archaeologist Dr. William Dever's "An Overview of Biblical Archaeology - History, Aims & Methods" presented at Bard College in 2008. The lecture is the first of eight in Dever's DVD lecture series How Archaeology Illuminates the Bible: From the Patriarchs to the Babylonian Destruction. The lectures are illustrated with pictures, maps and plans from Professor Dever's personal photos as well as photos from leading archaeological photographers and are understandable for those coming to the subject for the first time and newly insightful for the advanced student.
