>There is a report being made public that archaeologists digging at Hazor have found two fragments of a cuneiform tablet that contain what has been described as portions of a law code.

According to the report, the fragments contain laws similar to laws found in the Code of Hammurabi. At the present, archaeologists are working their way down towards a monumental structure dating to the Bronze Age, where more tablets are expected to be found.

Seth L. Sanders’s blog has more details on this amazing discovery.
