Women and Archaeology

This week we listen in on a conversation between Dr. Gruber and Dr. Beth Alpert Nakhai from the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies. She introduces us to the shift in archaeological studies this century towards domestic settings of Israelites instead of the palace and the temple. This shift introduces us to a wider exploration of ancient life, culture, and society that brings women into the picture and celebrates their contribution to the family and to society.
