I am very pleased that, if several factors come together, I will have a 6-month sabbatical beginning in January of 2020. The purpose of this sabbatical will be to pull together and publish in digital format materials for the Northeast Insula Project derived from fifteen field seasons (2002-2016) and the study season in 2019. Look for materials to appear here, on Digital Commons, and on Academia.edu.
As a theologian also engaged in field archaeology, I am always interested in the intersection between ancient texts and the discoveries int he field. A new online journal is attempting to address this topic. The first issue is out and I wish the editors success.
