1. Read the following text, and then decide if the statements are true or false.

A professor of classics is translating and analyzing ancient inscriptions from columns, stones, tombs, floors and mosaics of ancient Israel to uncover the life of the common men and women of antiquity.

History is often shaped by the stories of kings and religions and military leaders, and much of what we know about the past derives from official sources. Now an international project is gaining invaluable insights into the history of ancientIsraelthrough the collection and analysis of inscriptions. They are pieces of common writing that include anything from a single word to a love poem, epitaph, declaration, or question about faith, and everything in between that does not appear in a book or on a coin.

There has never been such a large-scale effort to recover inscriptions in a multi-lingual publication. Previous collections have been limited to the viewpoints of single cultures, topics or languages. This innovative series seeks to uncover the whole story of a given site by incorporating inscriptions of every subject, length, and language, publishing them side by side. In antiquity, the part of the world that is now modernIsraelwas intensely multilingual, multicultural, and highly literate. When the volumes are complete, scientists will include the analysis of about 12,000 inscriptions in more than ten languages.

The project represents countless hours spent in museum storerooms, church basements, caves and archeological sites. The team has already discovered a great amount of material that has never been published before.
