      Read an unravelled burnt papyrus? Nah, they said in 1750, and threw out "charcoal blocks "- actually Julius Ceasar's father-in-law's library! Matt Field of the University of Kentucky's VisCenter shares new tremendous advances- click to watch the Iliad film trailer -  which could enable us to read, reassemble, and preserve the Dead Sea Scrolls and other inscriptions without touching them! 
      Dr Greg Bearman shares his first hand experience using spectral imaging and other techniques on the Elah Fortress - Khirbet Qeiyafa ostracon. 
      Dovid and Barnea discuss the ostracon text itself, and offer background they gleaned on site to explain Dr Eilat Mazar's excavation of Jerusalem First Temple period city gate and fortifications. 

      Next week- looking towards Passover - Egypt and media and more!
