Articles include:

• Excavating Hazor Part 2:  Did the Israelites Destroy the Canaanite City?:  A violent conflagration marked the end of this powerful Canaanite city.  The Book of Joshua says the Israelites torched the city.  But does archaeology support the Biblical account
• Bringing Collectors (and Their Collections) Out of Hiding:  In the battle against looting, vilifying collectors offers the comfort of the moral high ground.  But attacking them may destroy our chances of ever seeing the treasures now in their hands.
• Over the Transom:  Three New Arrowheads:  "That looks familiar," thought two BAR readers after seeing photos of ancient inscribed arrowheads in our pages.  They contacted a scholar to examine three objects in their possession.  Sure enough, they proved authentic.
• Divided Structures Divide Scholars:  They're a mouthful to say - tripartite pillared buildings - and even harder to interpret.  Theories regarding their function are almost as numerous as the structures themselves (and there were many of them in ancient Israel).  At last, our author may have solved the mystery - and identified the world's oldest malls in the process.
