Life At Ancient Heshbon, Lawrence T. Geraty

Publications

"WHAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT thing you found?" is the most common question that people ask of an archeologist when he returns from an expedition. The inquirer usually recalls pictures of objects from the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, or of the Royal Cemetery at Ur, or perhaps even of the Dead Sea scrolls. But if one were to look for museum objects that have intrinsic value apart from their historical context, one certainly would not choose to dig in Palestine, whose peoples throughout history have been relatively poor when compared with the inhabitants of Egypt or Mesopotamia. Furthermore, the more …

A Visit To Ancient Heshbon, Lawrence T. Geraty

Publications

IF YOU SHOULD VISIT THE SITE of Andrews University's archeological excavations at Tell Hesban in Jordan, you would be in distinguished company. Among the many visitors we had during the 1974 season were several members of Jordan's royal family, including King Hussein's cousin, Prince Raad, who actually worked with us on two occasions. Other visitors included Jordan's former prime minister and elder statesman, Suleiman Nabulsi; the current Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Ghalab Barakat; and such members of the diplomatic corps as U.S. Ambassador Thomas Pickering. Among the many archeologists who paid a visit was Harvard Pro- fessor George Ernest …

Clara Sipprell: American Photographer In Memoriam, Ruth Ann Appelhof

The Courier

Clara Sipprell's photographic career spanned almost seven decades of artistic exploration in picture-making. In April 1975, she died at age 89, leaving behind a great many friends and a pictorial legacy of considerable achievement. Whether she was photographing the crown princes of Europe or Robert Frost in his back yard, Miss Sipprell's ability to capture her subject's innermost personality became the hallmark of her work.

The Significance Of The Equestrian Monument "Joan Of Arc" In The Artistic Development Of Anna Hyatt Huntington, Myrna Garvey Eden

The Courier

The manuscript collection of Anna Hyatt Huntington, sculptor, 1876-1973, left to the George Arents Research Library at Syracuse University by Mrs. Huntington is of special interest to students and scholars of American culture. Her correspondence, scrap-books, and diaries are a record of a long and successful career as a sculptor.

By drawing upon archival materials and personal interviews, the present article demonstrates the mergence of two major characteristics of Mrs. Huntington's work in this equestrian monument of Joan: technical precision and idealism.

The Sculpture Of Anna Hyatt Huntington In The Syracuse University Art Collection, Myrna Garvey Eden

The Courier

Anna Hyatt Huntington (1876-1973), one of the foremost American sculptors of her time, presented a large quantity of her personal and professional papers and sculpture to Syracuse University. In addition to the Huntington Manuscript Collection located in the George Arents Research Library at Syracuse University, the University owns diverse and numerous examples of her art. These statues, numbering over sixty pieces, represent a variety of subject matter, mood, and grouping completed throughout a career that spanned seventy years of artistic activity. Her general approach continued the French naturalistic tradition of Barye, Fremiet, and Falguiere. Although both wild and domestic animals …

The Anatomy Of The Heshbon "Dig", Lawrence T. Geraty

Publications

PEOPLE OFTEN WONDER what an archeological excavation costs and where all the money comes from. An American expedition now excavating at Idalion in Cyprus, for instance, spends more than $60,000 per season. Comparable expeditions often spend much more; rarely do they spend less. Yet the 1974 Andrews University expedition to Tell Hesban in Jordan, with 75 staff members and 150 workmen (more than twice as many as Idalion), cost less than $30,000. This was possible only through an extremely efficient and economical use of funds, and because individual staff members were responsible for their own travel costs to Jordan.

Story Of Heshbon Expedition 1967-1974, Lawrence T. Geraty

FOR MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED years, Seventh-day Adventist Bible teachers, authors, and evangelists have used the data provided by archeological research in the Near East to illuminate, bolster, and defend the faith. However, only within the past forty years, have a few Seventh-day Adventist scholars been trained in Palestinian field archeology. First among these were Dr. Lynn H. Wood, the Seventh-day Ad ventist Theological Seminary's first professor of archeology and the history of antiquity, who worked with Dr. Nelson Glueck at the Transjordanian sites of Khirbet Tannur (a Nabataean temple) and Tell el-Kheleifeh (Biblical Eziongeber), and Dr. Siegfried H. Horn, …
