ORGANIZATION AND WORKING POLICY OF THE ANDREWS UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY

I—History

The Institute of Archaeology was organized with Board of Trustees approval in 1980. But it informally began in 1938 when the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago gave 27 pieces of pottery to the SDA Theological Seminary on a permanent loan basis. These were added to the artifacts collected by an archeological excavation at Tell Hesban directed by Dr. Siegfried H. Horn in 1968 to produce an archaeological museum in the James White Library in 1970. In 1982 after establishment of the Institute of Archaeology, the museum became the Siegfried H. Horn Museum. It has continued to grow and is now part of the current Institute of Archaeology.
