Seeing the invisible
Most surviving biblical period Hebrew inscriptions are ostraca (ink-on-clay texts). They are poorly preserved and might fade rapidly once unearthed. Their proper and timely documentation is therefore essential. Our study of numerous Hebrew ostraca has demonstrated that multispectral imaging has the potential to reveal letters on ostraca otherwise invisible to the naked eye. In the case of Arad Ostracon No. 16 from Judah, dated to ca. 600 BCE, we …
Literacy in Judah and Israel
This article deals with the question of literacy in Israel and Judah. We deploy algorithmic and forensic methods to reveal the number of authors in two corpora of ostraca: Arad in Judah (ca. 600 BCE) and Samaria in Israel (eighth century BCE). In Judah, literacy disseminated down the military system to the quarter-master of the remote fort of Arad and possibly to his assistant. At Samaria our algorithmic work revealed two scribes over a minimum p…
A Brand New Old Inscription
Arad Ostracon 16 is part of the Elyashiv Archive, dated to ca. 600 B.C. It was published as bearing an inscription on the recto only. New multispectral images of the ostracon have enabled us to reveal a hitherto invisible inscription on the verso, as well as additional letters, words, and complete lines on the recto. We present here the new images and offer our new reading and reinterpretation of the ostracon
Computerized Paleographic Investigation of Hebrew Iron Age Ostraca
This article surveys ongoing research of the Legibility Enhancement of Ostraca (LEO) team of Tel Aviv University in the field of computerized paleography of Hebrew Iron Age ink-written ostraca. We perform paleographic tasks using tools from the fields of image processing and machine learning. Several new techniques serving this aim, as well as an adaptation of existing ones, are described herein. This includes testing a range of signal-acquisitio…
