Kelso Museum of Near Eastern Archaeology

The Kelso Museum of Near Eastern Archaeology traces its origins to a program of archaeological fieldwork in the Near East that began in 1924 and focused on the Southern Levant: modern-day Israel, the West Bank, and Jordan. Its exhibits highlight daily life in ancient times, including landscape and settlement patterns; domestic and communal architecture; agriculture and food preparation; technologies, crafts, and stylistic traditions; trade; religious observance; and memory, writing systems, and practices. In addition to offering tours and resources for scholars, teachers, and students, the Museum invites leading archaeologists to Pittsburgh to deliver free public lectures on a range of topics.
