| Summary: | This response to Richard A. Horsley's call for dialogue between archaeologists and text-oriented New Testament scholars reflects the interest in such dialogue that has burgeoned in recent years. The article points out that between the late 1960s and the 1980s, the state of the art has changed dramatically. In the earlier period, archaeologists had little to guide them in the way of ceramic chronology and there was little history of scientific stratigraphic excavation-especially for the later periods; nor was there significant infrastructure in the region to facilitate their work. Much of that situation has changed over time, as recent studies both of material culture and of textual sources show more than adequately. In light of the many changes in recent years, it is appropriate for both text-oriented scholars and field archaeologists to work together toward a common methodology that will enhance the research agendas of both fields. This response is a beginning at such a dialogue. |
