Article Title:The Hellenistic Biblical Archaeology. A State of Research

Abstract:
This paper analyses the history and development of biblical archaeology, namely about the Hellenistic period. First of all, we study the beginnings of this science throughout the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, characterised by a gradual advance in methodology. Secondly, we investigate the development that followed the birth of the State of Israel in 1948, with emphasis on the archaeological sites in Judea, Samaria and Galilee. Next, the studies carried out in Transjordan are examined, with particular reference to the Nabataeans and the Decapolis. Finally, we take a look at other sciences (epigraphy, numismatics, papyrology) and the current state of research.
