| Summary: | The contribution of archaeology to religious history has often been one of providing verification and clarification of accepted textual statements (if available) and expanding the knowledge of the physical forms of a specific branch of a major belief system. While the place of archaeological researches within the development of Biblical studies is somewhat familiar to scholars of Christian history, its association with the history of eastern Christianity is less well-known. This article will focus on one of the more unique denominations within the eastern Christian community, the Coptic Orthodox Church, and the varied ways in which archaeologyaeology and its allied disciplines have illuminated its past. |
