Dr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu serves as a Research Fellow at the Institute of Archaeology, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in the cultic architecture of the Ancient Near East. Her academic foundation includes a doctorate from ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
Her research focuses on reconstructing ancient religious structures through archaeological evidence, particularly examining temple architecture from the 10th-9th centuries BCE. Key excavation sites informing her work include Khirbet Qeiyafa, Lachish, and Khirbet al-Rai, where she analyzes architectural elements to understand biblical descriptions of sacred spaces like Solomon's Temple.
Mumcuoglu maintains active scholarly engagement through publications that bridge archaeological findings with textual analysis. Her methodological approach combines fieldwork with iconographic studies to interpret ritual spaces and sacred entrances in ancient contexts.
As part of TheTorah.com's academic consortium, she contributes to contemporary discussions about interpreting religious traditions through archaeological evidence. Her work appears in both monographs and digital scholarly platforms addressing biblical archaeology.
