O Instituto de Arqueologia da Universidade de Tel Aviv, Israel, fundado em
1969 por Aharoni tem feito inúmeras escavações de grande relevância
para a compreensão da arqueologia e da geografia histórica do Israel
bíblico. Atualmente está especialmente empenhado em escavar Meguido e
Bet Shemesh. Israel Finkelstein é um dos nomes de destaque do Instituto.
The
Institute of Archaeology was founded in 1969 by the late Professor Y.
Aharoni. Excavation of sites such as Tel Aphek-Antipatris, Tel Arad, Tel
Beer-sheba, Tel Bet Shemesh, Tel Hadar, Horvat Qitmit, Horvat 'Uza, Tel
'Ira, Tel Jezreel, Tel Kabri, Lachish, Tel Michal and Tel Megiddo has
contributed to a better understanding of the archaeology and
historical-geography of biblical Israel. Currently the staff of the
Institute is systematically digging at Tel Megiddo and Tel Bet Shemesh, as
well as undertaking a number of rescue excavations.
O saque do Museu de Bagdá em abril de 2003, provocado pelo caos que se seguiu à invasão
norte-americana da capital do Iraque, vem sendo considerado o
"crime do século" por arqueólogos, biblistas, historiadores e
por todas as pessoas que têm algum respeito pelo patrimônio cultural da
humanidade representado pela antiga Mesopotâmia e pela cultura islâmica. Neste site, o Instituto Oriental da Universidade de
Chicago, USA, está colecionando fotos de objetos do Museu de Bagdá, na
tentativa de construir um ponto de referência para a recuperação dos
artefatos que possam aparecer no mercado de antiguidades. Calcula-se que
entre 50 e 200 mil objetos tenham sido roubados, com a complacência dos
invasores, causando enorme prejuízo para a história da humanidade.
In the days following the conquest of Baghdad by the USA
military forces in April 2003, the Iraq Museum was looted. Reports on the damage
vary - the number of lost or stolen objects varies between 50,000 to 200,000. The losses not only to the world of a archaeology but to mankind in general are tremendous.This site contains images of objects from the Iraq Museum, sorted by categories, that are presently at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. Some of them are photos of objects from the Institute's own excavations, others were scanned from books with permission of the publishers. In addition, several institutions and individuals generously contributed pictures from their own holdings. It is hoped that it will be of use as a reference tool in the recovery of artifacts should they appear on the antiquities
market.

Informações sobre o método de datação conhecido como Carbono 14,
usado na arqueologia. As datas dos Manuscritos
do Mar Morto, por exemplo, foram confirmadas por este método,
desenvolvido em 1946 pelo professor Willard Frank Libby.
Radiocarbon dating is the technique upon which chronologies of the late
Pleistocene and Holocene have been built. This resource is designed to
provide online information concerning the radiocarbon dating method.The
carbon-14 dating technique, developed by Nobel Laureat Willard Frank Libby
in 1946, involves measuring the amount of residual radioactive carbon (carbon-14)
in a given sample. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,73040 years, which means
that it takes 5,730 years for half of the radioisotope to disintegrate.
Because carbon-14 decays at this constant rate, an estimate of the age of
the sample can be made by measuring the amount of its residual radiocarbon.
