Summary:This article serves to promote the interaction between biblical scholars and archaeologists as well as other specialists in ancient Near Eastern Studies.

It is hard to believe that they did not, with their disciplined structure and extensive knowledge of the world around them, have long-range plans to which the aims of the annual campaigns, barring emergencies, adhered.
