| Why I Decided to Fund A Heritage Scholarship |
|
By: Sheldon Fox The dig experience caused me to develop an appreciation for the hands-on nature of archaeological field work and the importance of that work to the process of interpreting history. Certainly course work, lectures, scholarly journals and meetings like ASOR’s annual meeting are critical components as well. But in my humble, non-academic opinion, none of those pieces can substitute for the work that goes on in the field.. Read more... |

| Dr. C. Brian Rose to Speak About Cultural Heritage Protection in Zones of Armed Conflict |
|
The 2013 ASOR Annual Meeting Plenary Address promises to be an exciting kick-off to the meeting in Baltimore. Driven by the belief that preservation of cultural property can provide shared goals and an opportunity for cross cultural and trans-national dialogue, a small group of archaeologists and museum professionals have begun to work together at the international level to develop teaching materials specifically designed to teach respect for cultural materials to members of military forces. Members of fighting forces are often the people on whom we must rely to protect historic structures, museums and libraries, and even archaeological sites from the ravages of disaster, both natural and man-made.

| ASOR Heritage Fellowship: The Beginning of a Grand Adventure |
|
By: Nate Ramsayer My participation in fieldwork was entirely predicated upon receiving a Heritage Fellowship; it allowed me to buy a plane ticket to the Middle East. Had I not been granted an award, you’d find a much grumpier, much more naïve Hebrew Bible student still sitting at Logan Airport in Boston, probably with a cup asking for change, trying to figure how in the heck he’s gonna make it overseas in time for next summer’s season!

| With ASOR’s Help No Need to Stowaway |
|
By: Sara Rich Last summer, I received a Platt Foundation Fellowship to return for the third season of the Mazotos Shipwreck Excavation in Cyprus. The 18-m long cargo vessel went down a few decades before the Kyrenia, during the Late Classical Period (mid-fourth c. BC). Previous years had exposed three lead anchor stocks and sections of preserved hull and keel wood at the bow. Read more... |

| Geographical Factors in the Defense of Judah and Israel |
|
By: Kyle Keimer My research focused on describing the varying strategies for defense of Israel and Judah in light of each kingdom’s topographical realities and the changing political situation over the course of the Iron II. I began with two basic questions: 1) how, in military terms, did fortifications work? and 2) where were they placed and in response to which circumstances? My goal was to reach an understanding of the function of fortified sites both on a regional and inter-regional level. Assessing defensive networks and answering the preceding questions, however, required broader considerations, such as where people want to go and where they can not go. Also, what kind of enemy is being defended against? When all of these questions were considered in conjunction with the topography and the type and distribution of fortified sites, it was possible to address their defensive function and strategy.
