An anthropological archeologist at Andrews University, Oystein LaBianca will speak for the online Asheville Adventist Forum about biblical archaeology and the Israel-Palestine conflict.

The Jan. 27 presentation will provide a “post-colonial perspective on the endeavor to prove the Book by means of the spade,” LaBianca says.

LaBianca is a National Geographic Explorer, anthropology professor, and senior director of the Hisban Cultural Heritage Project, a community archaeology project centered at Tall Hisban in the country of Jordan. LaBianca was born in Kristiansand, Norway, and immigrated to the United States as a teenager with his family. In 1971, he earned a bachelor’s degree in behavioral sciences with an emphasis in anthropology from Andrews University in Michigan.
