At the Heshbon dig there are some things in large supply—sand, heat, camels. Sometimes even excitement. Other things, like money and water, are alarmingly scarce and about equal in value. When either one or the other runs out, the morale graph dips. But the Lord takes care of us, one day at a time.

Eight years ago Andrews University had its first archaeological expedition in Jordan. Dr. Siegfried H. Horn had chosen the ruin mound of biblical Heshbon, known to the Arabs as Tell Hesban, about 15 miles southwest of Amman, the capital of Jordan.

"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 …

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 …

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.

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, …

READERS of the REVIEW have been kept informed of the two previous archeological expeditions of Andrews University to Tell Hesban in Jordan, the site of the Biblical Heshbon, conducted in the summers of 1968 and 1971 (see REVIEW, Jan. 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, 1969, and Dec. 30, 1971, Jan. 6, 13, 20, 27, 1972). Thus it will not be necessary to repeat the history of this ancient city from Biblical and other sources, nor relate the methods employed in excavating its ruins.

The first campaign at Tell Hesban was carried out in 1968,' and the second season was planned for the summer of 1970. The outbreak of the first phase of the Jordanian civil war in June of that year, however, forced a cancellation of the expedition, although some staff members, including the director, were already in Amman and most others were en route to Jordan. ' Rescheduled for the next summer, the second campaign was successfully conducted from July 5 to August 20, 1971.

Discoveries and Excavations of Roman Tombs. During the past two years many Roman and Byzantine tombs have been opened by local villagers and Bedouins and robbed of their contents. When I visited Heshbon in early April I saw a number of men emerging from freshly excavated tombs, southwest of the village of Yesbdn. When they saw me they fled in the direction of the valley, making it impossible for me to recognize them in order to report them to the authorities for illegal excavation.

Arab Remains. Since Heshbon was an important city in certain periods after the seventh-century A.D. Arab conquest, it is not surprising that we find extensive remains of those periods in the top layers of the mound. We discovered that in Arab times the summit of the mound had been transformed into a square surrounded on three sides with buildings containing vaulted rooms, one of which we excavated. Only the eastern side of the plaza was left open. In this way the morning sun could warm up the square while the buildings protected it from the disagreeable and frequently chilly strong …

PALESTINIAN archeology is about a century old. The pioneers in Palestinian archeology were not professionals in the field of excavations; in fact, none existed anywhere when they carried on their work. Many errors were made before methods were developed that produced the greatest possible returns for the money, effort, and time spent in excavations.

AS IN the 1968 season, the staff of the 1971 Heshbon expedition consisted of a number of professionals and students from both foreign countries and Jordan. The 52 staff members represented a variety of religious affiliations and nationalities: 19 were Seventh-day Adventists and formed the largest single group, but the Lutheran, Methodist, Swedenborgian, Catholic, and Baptist churches were also represented. Our Jordanian colleagues professed the Islamic faith. The foreign group, which comprised 40 people, consisted chiefly of United States citizens; others were nationals of Canada, Britain, Norway, Germany, and Holland. In this group, were 16 professors in universities, colleges, or …
