With a verdict soon expected in the six-year-long Jerusalem trial to determine whether or not the James ossuary, the Yehoash tablet and other ancient artifacts were illegally forged, the articles below highlight the various scholarly and scientific arguments that have been made both for and against the authenticity of these remarkable finds. In addition, we list articles that conveniently summarize the major players and key developments in a trial that included 116 sessions, saw more than 130 witnesses called to the stand and produced nearly 12,000 pages of testimony. The articles were hand-selected by the Biblical Archaeology Review editors especially for members of the BAS Library.
