Members phkrause Posted February 4, 2016 Members Posted February 4, 2016 Queen of the Philistines: Trude Dothan (1922–2016) Biblical Archaeology Society Staff • 02/02/2016 Trude Dothan, the doyenne of Philistine archaeology, passed away recently at the age of 93. A pioneer in Israeli archaeology, Dothan was a world-renowned expert on the Philistines. She excavated at Athienou (Cyprus), Hazor, Ein Gedi, Tel Qasile, Tell ‘Aitun, Deir el-Balah and Tel Miqne (Biblical Ekron). The excavations at Tel Miqne, which she codirected with Seymour Gitin between 1981 and 1996, unearthed evidence that proved to be dramatically significant to our understanding of Philistine history and culture.

Moderators Kevin H Posted February 6, 2016 Moderators Posted February 6, 2016 And missed by us who appreciate her work. For about the past century and a half (interesting timing for Adventists) we have been blessed with the study of archaeologists to learn more about the Bible and investigate it as never before. phkrause 1 Quote
