Women and Archaeology

This week we listen in on a conversation between Dr. Gruber and Dr. Beth Alpert Nakhai from the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies. She introduces us to the shift in archaeological studies this century towards domestic settings of Israelites instead of the palace and the temple. This shift introduces us to a wider exploration of ancient life, culture, and society that brings women into the picture and celebrates their contribution to the family and to society.
Dr. Nakhai is the Associate Professor at the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies. She is an archaeologist and Biblical scholar, She has written extensively about ancient religion and culture, especially the lives of women in ancient Israel and the Near East. This week we talk about what has changed in archaeological studies that helps us understand the Bible in new ways.
