	NOW on DVD! HOW DOES A DIG TEAM WORK? WHAT DO ARCHAEOLOGISTS LOOK FOR AT A DIG? What challenges do they face? In this DVD, based on our popular video, some of the world's greatest scholars explain archaeology's contribution to the understanding and interpretation of events in the Near East. Join BAS as we survey the remains of a raging fire that destroyed Hazor thousands of years ago. Watch with amazement as we explore the ruins of a stone tower at Jezreel, from which Queen Jezebel may have been thrown and murdered. Learn how scientific archaeology developed, from the identification of tells and the shifts in stratigraphic methods to computer refinements and excavations done underwater and in laboratories. Meet the 19th-century pioneers of this field and examine the groundbreaking discoveries and theories that contribute to our understanding of the biblical past. And be there when Hazor volunteers uncover a magnificent prize find, right before your eyes! Scholars interviewed include: Lawrence Stager, Harvard University; Israel Finkelstein, Tel Aviv University; and William Dever, University of Arizona. SPECIAL BONUS!
