Bryant G. Wood is a Biblical archaeologist and Research Director of the [[Associates for Biblical Research]]. He is internationally known for his 1990 extensive research on the stratigraphy and pottery associated with the destruction of late Bronze Age [[Jericho]] that led him to the conclusion that the date the city fell was in close agreement with the Biblical date in the latter half of the 15th century BC, a date which was also in agreement with the earlier archaeological findings of [[John Garstang]]. Recent developments in the radiocarbon dating dispute offer additional support of the Biblical date and against the date of 1550 BC conjectured by [[Kathleen Kenyon]].
