This list is not alphabetized and rather disorganized. The following are my essentially my research notes for several projects, and they could be useful to you - if you're interested in Near Eastern Archeology. Please note that several of the links are for a database that you may not have access to: JSTOR. These articles are also in print or available for purchase online - just google it.


****This may well be the grand-mama and grand-daddy of all archeological sites online. The early cuneiform tablets at the British Museum are available at http://www.etana.org/ along with an amazing bibliography - “core texts”. Absolutely fabulous!

Eugene Ulrich, Frank Moore Cross, Russell E. Fuller, Judith E. Sanderson, the late Patrick W. Skehan, and Emanuel Tov, Qumran Cave 4. X: The Prophets with the collaboration of Catherine M. Murphy and Curt Niccum (DJD XV; Oxford: Clarendon, 1997). [408 pp. + liv b/w plates]. (ISBN 0-19-826937-4, $150.00w).
“Includes 33 manuscripts of the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekial and the Twelve Minor Prophets. These texts antedate by a millennium those that had previously held the title of the earliest surviving Hebrew biblical manuscripts. They document a pluriformity acceptable in the ancient biblical textual tradition before the text became standardized later in the Christian and Rabbinic period.

The Book of Isaiah was one of the most widely copied books at Qumran. 4QJerb displays the earlier edition of Jeremiah from which the Septuagint was translated, in contrast to the later edition in the Massoretic tradition. Superior textual variants from these manuscripts have been adopted in recent revised translations of the Bible.”
