NOT a Great foto of Tell es-Safi/Gath from 1969

Update for March 6, 2008: Please note that based on the discussion in the comments, it turns out that this photo is not of Tell es-Safi/Gath, but of Tel Erani. This is a RATHER embarrasing mistake on my part …

Dr. Ferrell Jenkins (who has a great Biblical Studies site) has a great foto of the northeastern portion of Tell es-Safi/Gath posted on his blog, that was taken back in 1969 (looking SW).

Ferrell has given me permission to post it here as well.

Jim West’s Blog is erased!

According to a post in the Bible Studies list, Jim West’s fascinating, if at times provocative, but extremely popular blog has been erased from cyber-space by someone who figured out his password!

Whoa – this is scarey!! One can only wonder who the fiend was??? (In nomine Domini incipit omne malum?)

Jim – hope you recover from this.

And now for some REAL archaeology!

Enough of all this fake archaeology — digging, research and boring publications!

Let’s get to the really interesting parts of this profession – the way things really look like on a daily basis in the field!

The Bibleplaces blog has brought to our attention that the first trailers of the new Indiana Jones film are out!

Now that’s real archaeology!

P.S. Has anyone seen my whip?
