History of Israel
Although primarily a biblical archaeologist, Albright was a polymath who made contributions in almost every field of Near Eastern studies: an example of his range is a BASOR 130 (1953) paper titled "New Light from Egypt on the Chronology and History of Israel and Judah", in which he established that Shoshenq I—the Biblical Shishaq—came to power somewhere between 945 and 940 BC.
