Geoarchaeology of Israel

This book includes a description of the Jehoash Inscription Tablet, the only written evidence that the First Temple existed; a new technique for authenticating ancient artifacts; a discussion of the James Ossuary, which might provide archaeological evidence for Jesus of Nazareth and indicate that the ossuary was that of James the Just, the older brother of Jesus.
