My latest article is out!

I wrote it with André Lemaire in a volume honouring Gaby Barkay.

It offers a new decipherment of two ancient Hebrew inscriptions written on a pottery shard. The shard (called an ostracon) was erased and written again, but thanks to digital imaging techniques, we were able to improve the reading.

Here is the article:

Langlois, Michael, and André Lemaire. “A Palimpsest Palaeo-Hebrew Ostracon Revisited.” In Gabriel. Tell This Man the Meaning of His Vision (Daniel 8:16). Studies in Archaeology, Epigraphy, Iconography and the Biblical World in Honor of Gabriel Barkay On the Occasion of His 80th Birthday (22 June 2024), edited by Robert Deutsch and André Lemaire, 158–69. Tel Aviv: Archaeological Center Publications, 2024.
