E-book Finding Jerusalem: Archaeology between Science and Ideology
Finding Jerusalem is not about bringing back to life ancient stones and walls hidden underground. It is not an adventurer’s quest for long-lost treasures and monuments of a city venerated by the three Abrahamic traditions. And least of all, it is not an attempt to uncover the biblical truth. Finding Jerusalem: Archaeol-ogy between Science and Ideology is concerned with archaeologists, professionals, scholars, institutions, and governmental agencies, who and which are engaged in excavating and interpreting Jerusalem’s past; it deals with those who support, con-trol, and promote endeavors of cultural heritage; it examines the implications for individuals, communities, and nations affected by the processes of archaeological activity; and, finally, it aspires to differentiate between the real, concrete, and mate-rial on the one hand and the created, imagined, and perceived on the other.
