Another Triumph for Israel Finkelstein and his Team

Another Triumph for Israel Finkelstein and his Team
Continuing to combine modern science with archaeology he has utilized multispectral imaging on a 7th century BC ostracon and found additional lines of text on both the front and the back which were not visible to either the human eye or modern digital photography.
 
The fact that the piece had been in a museum for a half century suggests that it is time to start looking at similar ink-on-ostraca writings to see what else can be won back from the sands of time.
