Articles include:

• Excavating Hazor Part 1: Solomon's City Rises from the Ashes:  The Bible says that Joshua put Hazor to the torch and that Solomon later fortified it.  New excavations are putting both claims to the test and are providing key evidence for the most burning question in Biblical archaeology today:  Was there ever a powerful United Monarchy?
• A Mickey Mouse Operation Annual Meeting Convenes in Disney World:  Lights, camera - fizzle.  A host of technical glitches bedeviled the yearly gathering of academics, but the scholarship rose above it all.
• King Hezekiah's Seal Bears Phoenician Imagery:  The second seal impression of an ancient Israelite king has appeared hard on the heels of the first.  Will even more spectacular finds follow?
• Seal of Ba'alis Surfaces:  And speaking of royal seals, the Ammonites get into the act with the discovery of the seal that belonged to the king who ordered the assassination of Judah's governor.
• Odd Tome Out:  Has Jerusalem's Essene Cemetery Been Found?: Fifty graves discovered accidentally in Jerusalem are of a type rarely found in Israel.  The graves at Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, match them.  Is it time to put two and two together?
