The University of South Florida’s famed archaeologist James F. Strange sheds light on the Galilee’s Hellenistic and Roman periods.

Every occupation of land in any period leaves its human imprint. What looks at first to be a chaotic scatter of bits and pieces within archaeological trenches can resolve itself into settlement patterns, architecture, human movement, dedication of space to special uses, and even the scope and layout of a city. In these lectures we will learn how archaeologists make their inferences and examine some of them. Was there an early Christian sanctuary at Capernaum? How central to Galilean life was Sepphoris? Did Nazareth really exist in the first century? How do we recognize ancient synagogues without inscriptions or Jewish symbols on the structure?
