Part of book or chapter of book

At the end of the nineteenth century, the developing science of archaeological excavation had become a promising tool in the biblical sciences. This case study looks at a Dutch initiative: the Sichem-comité (“Sichem Committee”) and the role it played in gaining involvement and financial participation of a Dutch private audience in Near Eastern archaeology.
