Archaeologists and Light Bulbs
How many Biblical scholars does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Four.
One to write a paper on the text of the wrapper. If this happens to be a Mazda bulb rather than a General Electric one, this could take a major portion of someone’s career.
One to write an article on the writing found in the small circle at the end of the bulb.
One to write a discussion of the relationship between these two texts.
And one to write the text for a BAR article asking its readership what to do with the object.
