If the archaeology of the Near/Middle East is an interest of yours, check out the Biblical Archaeology Society (BAS): www.bib-arch.org/. We, too, have a forum (www.forum.bib-arch.org) where you are welcome.

BAS has been publishing the latest research in the field of archaeology in the Biblical lands since 1975 in their flagship magazine, Biblical Archaeology Review
(http://www.bib-arch.org/bar/contents.asp), excerpts of which are available online at www.biblicalarchaeology.org. The comprehensive website posts the latest news from the world of Biblical archaeology, as well as an extensive list of excavations in the Mediterranean world (http://digs.bib-arch.org/) that are looking for dig volunteers. The archive of the thousands
of articles published since 1975 by the foremost scholars in the field is a great resource for researchers and the interested public alike: http://members.bib-arch.org.

The site also offers Online Exclusives (http://www.bib-arch.org/online-exclusives/), a Debates section (http://www.bib-arch.org/debates/debates.asp) that features the latest controversies in the field, and E-Features: online articles written especially for web visitors: http://www.bib-arch.org/e-features/e-features.asp

With an active Forum (www.forum.bib-arch.org), readers and visitors can join discussions of the latest news and discoveries in the field of Biblical archaeology. The Travel/Study program (http://www.bib-arch.org/travel-study/) offers unique educational opportunities through their U.S. and international seminars, as well as through their scholarly adventure tours to legendary places like Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Greece, Egypt and Cyprus.

We would like to post occasional updated here on your forum - and invite you to do the same on our own forum (www.forum.bib-arch.org); presuming that these link exchanges will benefit us both.

I've been a subscriber for years. The theology is all over the map, so don't read it as you would the Gospel!

I like it mostly for the pictures, and often take a look at the articles, too. ;-)

You summarize them well, Ed.

They are not a religious organization, but an organization dedicated to publishing simply: what is found in the ground. I am a Christian: and despite the fact that some "scholars" opinions of what they've found is against what I believe, I stand behind the organization in it's efforts to stick to the facts as best they can.

I've not found a better source for the latest news and events on the archaeology of the area.
