ARQUEOLOGIA DE MAGDALA: PRÁTICA ARQUEOLÓGICA E RECONSTRUÇÃO DA JUDEIA DO SÉCULO I D.C. ENTREVISTA COM A ARQUEÓLOGA MARCELA ZAPATA-MEZA.

The ancient city of Magdala, on the edge of the Sea of Galilee, represents the most significant archaeological site discovered in recent decades in Israel, mainly because it houses one of the few known synagogues from the period of the Second Temple of Jerusalem. The excavation of the site recently completed ten years and to find out about the scientific advances resulting from this work, we invited the expert responsible for the excavation, the archeologist Marcela Zapata-Meza, to this interview. The main objective of this interview is to present the alterations provided by Archeology after the contrast with known written records from Antiquity. It is hoped, with this, that it will be possible to know more about the challenges found in a Biblical Archeology work and that the knowledge about the context of formation of Judaism and Christianity will be expanded.
