I am a PhD student studying Syro-Palestinian archaeology at Andrews University in southern MI. I’m originally from Niskayuna, NY. I did my undergrad at Wheaton College in ANE archaeology and Old Testament Studies. I got my MA in Historical Geography at Jerusalem University College, which is where I met my wife (we were doing the same program). Here are some pictures I took over those two years. Our first child is due in January.

Dear Mister Chestnut,
You are not a particularly easy fellow to find in the digital world. Perhaps the Siegfried Horn Museum should consider supplying author’s e-mail addresses so that crazies such as myself may send approving comments to authors?
I write to thank you for your recent article in its entirety AND ESPECIALLY for your aside concerning Jesus’ burial place, “(not His final resting place).” This is greatly appreciated by at least one of your fellow Christians.
Looking forward to your future contributions in all areas of life (archaeology as well as the more important aspect of faith) I am, in our Lord,
Yours,
Larry David McCormick+
Professor of New Testament Studies & Early Church History
Fordham Univeristy (in ‘da Bronx)
I love your site. Keep it up !
