"Postage stamps" used by
the Old Testament prophets
Jeremiah and Nahum have
been identified in a cache of
7th Century B.C. seal impres
sions excavated by a Univer
sity scholar.
The Rev. Bernard Boyd,
professor of religion and hold
er of the title James A. Gray
Professor of Biblical Litera
ture, disclosed the markings
on the seal impressions from
artifacts he dug up last sum
' mer in an archaeological ex
pedition in southern Pales
tine. Both Nahum and Jeremiah
were living at the time the
seals are dated. The seals
bear the names of the two
prophets.
The postage stamps of 2600
years ago belong to the same
Biblical period as Jeremiah.
There is no assurance that
the exact seal impressions un
covered were directly the
property of the prophets.
Prof. Boyd organized a spe
cial expedition last summer
the fifth year he has dug in
ancient ruins in the H o 1 y
Land.
The expedition was sup
ported by a special grant
from Mrs. Karl Prickett of
Greensboro, long a generous
patron of biblical studies with
in UNC and produced some
highly significant finds.
The mound of ancient La
chish is one of the most im
pressive in all of Palestine. It

ADD KNOWLEDGE
Boyd believes that the re
sults of the expedition to La
chish have already made sig
nificant contributions to ar
chaeological knowledge, and
will doubtless make more as
the artifacts are cleaned and
examined. He said that the
success of the expedition, in
the first place, is due entirely
to the generosity of the patron,
Mrs. Pickett. "Indeed," he
said, "without her help there
could have been no UNC ex
pedition to Lachish last sum
mer." The first expedition to un
dertake th excavation of the
great mound of Lachish came
to a sudden end in the late
thirties when the eminent
archaeologist, J. L. Starkey,
was murdered by Arab bri
gands. Some later work was
done; but for more than two
decades Lachish had received
no attention until the Univer

THE HUB

Last spring, when Professor
Yohanan Aharoni of the He
brew University in Jerusalem
was Visiting Professor of Bib
lical Archaeology at UNC, he
called to Professor Boyd's at
tention the remarkable archi
tectural similarity between
the tenth century B.C. Hebrew
Temple which Aharoni had un
covered at Tell Arad and the
"Persian temple" of Lachish.
Would further exploration re
veal that beneath the Persian
stratum there was an earlier
Hebrew stratum?
It was while he was digging
as a Japanese Expedition to
Tel Zeror, that Boyd decided
that he must investigate the
"solar - cult" temple at La
chish. He received Mrs. Prick
ett's enthusiastic support;
Aharoni's vast experience and
know how was available. A
staff was assembled, volun
teer workers were secured,
necessary equipment obtained
through the Israel Exploration
Society, and the dig was on.
SOLAR CULT
Excavation revealed that
the "solar cult" temple is not
Persian but belongs to the
late Hellenistic period. Its
East - West orientation had
nothing to do with worship of
Ahura-Mazda, but was in emu
lation of the sanctuaries at
Jerusalem and Arad. Boyd
believes that the expedition
may have thus come upon a
worship-place that marked the
emergence of the synagogue
from the previous temple-centered
cultus.
Immediately beneath this
temple structure the expedi
tion came upon rich deposits

of Persian artifacts, further
confirming the belief that La
chish was once an important
Persian citadel. Beneath this
stratum, at a period dating
from 1000 to 600 B.C., the
UNC expedition uncovered a
mass of Iron age artifacts be
longing to the time of Israelite
occupancy. These included the
first shekel-weights ever found
in situ, and a cache of 18 seal
impressions the "postage
stamps" of that age several
of them with easily decipher
able names, one with the name
"Nahum" and one with the
name "Jeremiah." These seal
impressions are dated 600 B.C.
The biblical prophets, Nahum
and Jeremiah, were both liv
ing at that time.
In 1963 Boyd dug at Tell
Nagila, a Middle Bronze Age
(circa 1800 B.C.) Hykuos city
near Beersheba; in 1964 and
1965 he helped excavate an
Early Bronze (2800 B.C.) city
at Arad and an Tron A

A sheet of toilet tissue is
4 1-2 inches square.
During the past 12 months,
this campus alone has used
4,748,625,000 square inches of
toilet tissue or enough to reach
16,655 miles.
This means that every 14.29
years, UNC students use
enough tissue to reach the
moon. If the yearly amount of
234,500 rolls was used to cover
the Kenan Stadium football
field, there would be 916 lay
ers. The problem of toilet tissue
and everything else bought by
the university belongs to Bob
Hardison, director of purchas
ing. Hardison and his staff of
110 employes spend approxi
mately $11-12 million annual
ly. "All money except that used
in salaries and major con
struction is spent by this de
partment," Hardison said.
Although the purchasing de
partment does not usually
spend time computing figures
on toilet tissue, they are kept
busy processing the nearly
30,000 purchase orders re
ceived yearly.
A sample of commodities
used within the past year in
clude: 18,300,000 paper towels
(1,868,979,000 square inches),
203.756 pounds of sugar plus
2,250,000 individual packets,
24.600 cans of cleanser, 612,
000 bars of soap, 110,000
pounds of cooking shortening,
22,128 gallons of string beans,
7,236 gallons of canned apples,
9,306 gallons of pears, 7,644

combined total of over 5,000,
000 meals are served annual
ly. Food, however, is not the
largest area of buying. Scien
tific supply, followed by food
or possibly utilities, is the
largest area. Three of the
eight buyers under Hardison's
direction are concerned only
with scientific supply.
Hardison noted that recent
purchases in the scientific
area include "about a dozen
electron microscopes at $25,
000 each," an $87,000 atom ac
celerator and a new Zeiss
planetarium projector costing
about $100,000.
The smiling, red - headed
director of purchasing also
noted that the 250-university-owned
vehicles are under his
department's supervision.
"The whole fleet is replaced
every 3 1-2 years," Hardison
added.
All university-owned stores
except the Book Exchange are
operated by the Purchasing
Department. Included in these
non-pront stores is a repair
shop for scientific and office
machines.
Five men are employed full
time to keep the 4000-plus of

Nevertheless, his department
uses sealed bids to dispose of
about $25,000 worth of surplus
material yearly.
Where does the money come
from? According to Hardison,,
the biggest source of revenue,
expecially in scientific areas,
is federal funds. The state
legislature also appropriates a
considerable amount of money.
On the topic to unusual pur
chases, Hardison said that
"what is unusual to others is
not to me." He did say that
the annual purchase of preg
nant mice and monkeys for
scientific research is a little
out of the ordinary.
Hardison listed the purchase
of ladybugs as probably the
most unusual item he has
dealt with. According to Hard
ison, 2000 of these weigh one
pound. They are shipped by
parcel post in boxes of 10,000.
The director of purchasing
still gets a gleam in his eyes
as he remembers about five
or six years ago when one of
these boxes was accidentlv
opened in the local post of-
fice.
