Summary: This collection contains material from three archeological excavations and surveys in which Professor Douglas R. Edwards of the University of Puget Sound (Tacoma, Washington) served as director or consultant. The first part of the collection relates to the Jotapata / Yodefat expedition in Galilee. The second part is related to the Khirbet Qana archeological project in Israel from 1998-2008. Khirbet Qana (also known as Cana or Cana of Galilee) was the site of a historical village of Roman Galilee, eight miles northwest of Nazareth, on the north side of an important trade route, the Beit Netofa Valley. The third part of the material is from the Chersonesos archeological project (Black Sea Project) from 1994-1998, on a site in present-day Sebastopol, Ukraine. The final part of the collection relates to Edwards' scholarly work.

Historical NoteReturn to Top

Dr. Douglas "Doug" R. Edwards was professor of New Testament and archaeology at the University of Puget Sound, in Tacoma, Washington. Edwards also led Puget Sound students on archaeological expeditions in Israel, Ukraine, and Greece. Born in Hardy, Nebraska, he earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska and a Ph.D. in New Testament and Christian Origins from Boston University, where he met his wife, Mary Lynn. Edwards took a position at Puget Sound in 1987, where he taught classes in New Testament, Hebrew Bible, ancient Near Eastern religions, and archaeology.

Edwards first excavated at Sepphoris, Israel in 1986 where he was an area supervisor. He continued at Sepphoris for another six years before helping to excavate roof tiles with the stamp of the 6th legion Ferrata at Kefar Hananya. He led his first excavation as a co-director at Yodefat (Jotapata) in 1992. Between 1994 and 1998, he co-directed excavations at ancient Chersonesos (modern Sebastopol) in Ukraine. The Black Sea Project concentrated on a fifth or sixth century basilica that had been excavated previously from the 1930s to the 1960s. The excavations sought to understand the transformation of the area in the Late Hellenistic or Early Roman period. In 1998, Edwards initiated excavations at Khirbet Qana (also known as Kana, or Cana of the Galilee) in the Beit Netofa Valley in Israel. Edwards' aim was to compare the archaeological findings from urban sites in the Roman and Byzantine periods with findings from rural village sites such as Khirbet Qana. Based on previous surveys, there was a great deal of evidence that the village had been occupied from the Neolithic through the Ottoman periods. The most significant occupations appear to have occurred in the Early Roman and Late Byzantine periods. Khirbet Qana is possibly the Galilean village memorialized by the writer of the Gospel of John as the site at which Jesus turns water to wine at a wedding feast (John 2:1-11). The discovery of a Crusader-era "veneration cave" shows that medieval Christians considered Khirbet Qana to be a sacred place. Due to safety concerns about taking students to Israel (during the Second Intifada), Edwards began taking students to archaeological expeditions in Greece where he acted as GPS/GIS consultant. These included the Iklaina project in Pylos, Stymphalos in Peloponnesos, Kenchreai, SHARP (Korphos) in Corinth, and Sikyon Projects. Edwards was an early adopter of GPS (Global Positioning Systems) / GIS (Geographic Information System) in archeological excavations and employed these techniques in Israel, Greece, and Ukraine. GPS/GIS is used in archeology to collect data points, such as artifact and square locations, for later transfer to a database for analysis and processing. A donation of GPS equipment from the Trimble Foundation allowed Edwards to use GPS/GIS in his archeological projects. In 2008, unable to make the trip to Israel, he directed the excavations at Khirbet Qana via teleconference. Edwards died on November 22, 2008, after an eight-year battle with multiple myeloma. He was 58 years old.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

This collection contains material from three different archeological digs: Jotapata / Yodefat and Khirbet Qana in Israel and Chersonesos in the Ukraine. The bulk of the material is related to the excavations themselves. This includes field reports, square field notes, technical reports, artifact lists, bucket lists, coin lists, pottery readings, baulk and top plan drawings, archaeological artifacts including pottery shards, and dig samples.

Administrative material includes research material, grant and email correspondence, index cards, database printouts, transparencies, aerial and site photos, slides, and slide indexes.

The collection also includes material relating to Edwards' work as a professor including class syllabi, his curriculum vitae, and publications and lectures.

Detailed Description of the CollectionReturn to Top

Jotapata / Yodefat , 1991-1993Return to Top

The site of Jotapata / Yodefat served as Edwards' first site. He was co-director with two Israeli colleagues. Jotapata was a major fortified town in 67 CE where Josephus, the Jewish commander of the forces opposing Roman rule in Palestine faced off against the Roman army. The excavation at Jotapata was interested in locating material remains associated with the destruction of the town in 67 CE by the Romans, testing surface surveys that inundated late Hellenistic and Early Roman (2nd century BCE to 1st century CE) remains, and determining whether the fortress site was abandoned in favor of settling in Khirbet Jifat following the revolt and destruction of the town. The excavation was to continue from 1992-2002, but Edwards left the dig after the first season and began excavating in Ukraine in the following years.

Khirbet Qana, 1918-2007Return to Top

This series contains the material relating to Edwards' excavations in Israel, particularly at the site called Khirbet Qana (or Cana) from 1998 - 2008. Material is divided into ten different subseries including: field notes, registrar, reports, Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), papers and publications, administration, drawings and topographical plans, photographs and slides, artifacts, and media.

Container(s)		Description	Dates
		Field Notes Field notes include the square notebooks kept each dig season for every square excavated. Square 13 was where the cylinder seal (1999) and pilgrim flask (2000) were found. Fields (sometimes described as areas) are I, II, III, IV, and V. Fields I and II are on the top of the hill and contain the main living complex. Field I is to the east and field II is to the west. Field II contains the highest number of squares. Field III is to the north and contains a possible miqveh. Field IV is on the western slope of the hill. Field V is on the lower southern slope of the hill and contains the cave complex with Crusader-era veneration cave. A note about the order of the square notebooks: the archivist has attempted to maintain an order similar to the order of fields and squares of the actual site so researchers can compare findings from adjacent sites. This subseries follows the order of field number, square number, and date. It's important to note that some of the square notebooks list the incorrect field. The archivist worked off of a map created by Edwards and his team that specifically labeled the location of each field or area. Not all of the squares are listed on these maps (the latest of the maps is dated to 2003 and the dig continued until 2008). The archivist has done their best to put the correct squares in the correct fields. If a square does not have a field location listed, it has been kept separate and marked as such.	1998-2007
