The Nelson Glueck School of Biblical Archaeology

The NGSBA is an academic institution with an active field research program.
Our work focuses on the Land of Israel, asking both universal questions about the development of human society and more particular ones concerning the special nature of ancient Canaan and Israel and the world of the Bible. We believe that a rigorous, critical approach to archaeology and the Bible can lead to new insights into the roots of our cultural identity, without denying the historical narrative of others.
