In Search of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem: an Anthropology of Archaeological Research in the Holy Land

The article analyzes the cultural context of the emergence and development of biblical archeology and modern Palestinian studies. It is concluded that the history of scientific research in the Holy Land must take into account the anthropological aspect, the mentality and dependence of the scientist on the general cultural context and environment during his work. The second part of the article examines the result of interfaith interaction between researchers using the example of Russian excavations at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the 1880s.
