SUMMARY
As in every discipline, archaeological evidence can be fragmentary
and may be misinterpreted. Yet, when solid data from wellexcavated
sites is compared to assumptions regarding the nature of
biblical texts and their date of compilation, the former should prevail,
at least until tested by new archaeological evidence or extrabiblical
texts.
