Topic: 1852 in archaeology


  
 The Bible and Archaeology
Because this impression that archaeology's role is to "prove the Bible" is so strong, especially among more conservative and evangelical scholars, it is appropriate to digress for a moment and examine Biblical principles that can inform us of the abuses and proper uses of archaeology with regards to Biblical research.
The final area where archaeology can make a contribution is in refuting the challenges that critics have laid against the Bible's historical veracity.
In summary, we have attempted to describe the relationship of archaeology to the study of Scripture within a context that accepts the Bible as the fully inspired, authoritative Word of God that includes a truthful and accurate history of God's dealings with humanity from the time of Creation to the present age.

 2005 IUPUI Archaeology Field School
The family in their home in 1920, Luther and Irene Porter, traced all three of their four parents to Kentucky (with Luther's dad born in Alabama), and the 25-year-old Luther was born in Kentucky as well.
The household at 903 North California in 1920 was headed by Reuben and Sally Jones, who were born in Kentucky in 1842 and 1852 respectively and had apparently been in Indiana for quite a while before they arrived on California Street.
The Jones' oldest daughter and son were each born in Kentucky in 1883 and 1885; their daughter Justine was born in Indiana in 1892, which suggests that they made their way into Indiana if not Indianapolis between 1885 and 1892, about a decade before the major African-American migration waves into Indianapolis.

These people needed accommodation, food, stables for their horses and buggies and entertainment, until they settled to a place of their own or left for another town.
