      Foundation Stone (www.foundationstone.org) explores new finds, techniques, and forgeries currently in the news. Then David Willner and Barnea Levi Selavan discuss explorations in Jordan and Turkey for a broader view, with insights into history only on-site visits can bring.

      Next, the blogosphere! A live interview with Luke Chandler, historian, pastor, and volunter digger, makes practical recommendations for those who want to keep current on the news with reliable sources, and enter the fray. Luke blogs at www.lukechandler.wordpress.com.

      A great interview - Mr Herschel Shanks, editor of Biblical Archaeological Review, talks about why he founded BAR, which just published its 200th issue. Hershel talks about his desire for connection to Israel, some inside stories, the importance of the site and finds at Elah Fortress-Khirbet Qeiyafa, and upcoming stories reflecting the high level of research BAR shares with the public. The BAR website is www.bib-arch.org with may features to choose from.
