1 The Archaeology of Biblical Israel University of Washington Course: NEAR E 311/511 Term: Winter 2018 Room: SAV 156 Time: TTh 3:30-5:20pm Instructor: Stephanie Selover Office Hours: Wednesdays, 1-3pm Office: Denny M220E sselover@uw.edu Course Description: This course is a survey of the archaeology of ancient Israel, also called the southern Levant. The course will cover archaeological, Biblical, and other contemporaneous textual sources to explore this topic, from the Middle Bronze Age (Age of the Patriarchs) to the end of the Babylonian Exile (ca BCE). The course will also explore the current state of the archaeology of the Bible, and consider the various viewpoints in this discipline. We begin with the history of archaeology in the region, and an exploration of the various schools of thought in Biblical archaeology. The remainder of the course is a chronological study what is known from archaeology about the various cultures and peoples of the southern Levant, from the Middle Bronze Age until the return of the Israelites from the Babylonian exile during the Persian Empire. This portion of the class will cover the known information of the cultures of the various peoples, including subjects such as religion, architecture, food ways, ceramic styles, decorative arts and subsistence patterns. We will study the archaeological material from these time periods to fuel discusses the various issues in understanding the Bible as historical text. The class will have both an undergrad and graduate student component. All students are responsible for all readings, a weekly online discussion of class themes and readings, one in-class map quiz, an in-class midterm, final, and paper. The graduate students are responsible for additional weekly readings and a longer final paper. Course Objectives: By the end of this course, students are expected to learn: An introductory understanding of the practices of archaeology in general and in the southern Levant in particular A knowledge of the recent archaeological developments in the modern countries of Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria 1
2 A knowledge of the various cultures and cultural practices of Iron Age southern Levant The various considerations necessary in the comparison of textual evidence to archaeological evidence How to critically read archaeological publications How to critically understand various archaeological schools of thought Course Format: Class will meet twice a week. Each class is expected to be a discussion rather than a straight lecture by the instructor, so students are responsible for all readings before the start of class and are expected to actively contribute. At times, the class will be split into smaller groups to further discuss the themes of the class and then each group will present their collected ideas. Each week, every student is required to consider and thoughtfully answer one of three given discussion questions based on the weekly readings and lectures on the discussion board on the class website. This forum will allow students to contemplate the themes of the class and perhaps to think of new questions of their own. There are no wrong answers, but students are asked to give thought to their responses. Students may bring in their own experiences as they pertain to the subject. Feel free to be creative. Answers are to be submitted to the instructor by 10pm each Wednesday. Late answers submitted before the start of class will be given half credit. No credit will be given to submissions after class. Each student is responsible for all assigned readings before the start of class and must be prepared to discuss them. The discussion section of the course will utilize both a voluntary method of question and answers, as well as a Socratic one, where the instructor may choose who will answer the question. In the second week of the quarter, on January 11, a short map and geography quiz will be given at the start of class. Understanding the geography of the ancient and modern Levant is of great importance in order to understand the various cultures and peoples covered in this course. Undergrads are required to write a final paper, 5-7 pages in length, on the topic of the student s choice that relates to the topics covered in class. Graduate student are responsible for a page paper, on the topic of the student s choice that relates to the topics covered in class. All topics must be cleared by the instructor. The final version of the papers will be due by 10pm on Monday of Finals Week, March 12. Topics for the paper will be due to the instructor by the start of Week 6, February 6. Students are recommended to make an appointment with the instructor to go over their topic before then. 2
3 A midterm will be administered in-class at the start of Week 6, on February 6, covering all material from the first five weeks of the course. A final exam will be administered on the last day of class, March 8th, in SAV 156, covering material from the entire course, with an emphasis on the final five weeks of the course. Prerequisites: This course is open to all students interested in archaeology, Biblical scholarship or the ancient Near East. No prior knowledge of these areas is necessary. Required Reading and Attendance: The readings from this course come from a variety of journals and book chapters. All readings except from the required textbook listed below will be made available in.pdf form on the class website. The textbook book is for sale at the campus bookstore. Readings from the course textbook will not be found on the course Canvas website. The assigned readings are to be completed by each student before the start of the class. Staying on top of the readings will maximize a student s learning experience and prepare them for discussions. It also allows the students to ask relevant questions during class. Copies of the required textbook are also available at Odegaard Undergraduate Library on reserve. Readings are subject to change as determined by the instructor, with at least one week's notice. All assigned readings are to be completed by each student before the start of each class. Staying on top of the readings will maximize a student s learning experience and prepare them for in-class discussions. It also allows students to ask relevant questions during class. The material covered in the readings will not repeat exactly the material covered in class, so both readings and good class attendance are a must for getting the most out of the course. Please arrive on time for class. It is rude and disrespectful to both your fellow students as well as to the instructor to arrive after the start of class, interrupting lecture or discussion. Everyone here is an adult, please be responsible for your own time management. Required Textbooks: Finkelstein, I. and A.

6 Technology in Class: The use of laptops in class is allowed for note taking and for referencing class readings. Surfing the web, checking s, checking Facebook, online shopping, etc. is prohibited. Such activity is disruptive to the individual, the instructor, and to the remainder of the class. However, I would highly encourage students to take notes in class by hand, as numerous studies have shown handwritten notes to be far more useful for students than typed notes. If I do find a student using a laptop for any purpose other than note taking, the privilege of using the laptop in class will be revoked after one warning. Please turn off your cellphones before coming to class; the use of cellphones is prohibited for any reason. Extra-Credit: A small number of extra credit assignments may be made available throughout the quarter, to be announced by the instructor. Please do not inquire about any additional extra credit than what is made available to the entire class.

No make-up exams will be allowed for the midterm or final unless for dire situations, (kidnapped by aliens, leg caught in a bear trap at the time of midterm, etc.), with proper documentation. Please be on time to class, and if for any reason you must leave early, please leave quietly and do not disrupt the other students on your way out. No talking during class, except during discussion periods. However, always feel free to ask the instructor a question at any point during class.
