The March 2005 issue of SBL Forum is up here, and it deals with the recent forgery scandals. The articles are as follows:

The Forgery Indictments and BAR: Learning From Hindsight, by Edward M. Cook

The Crisis of Modern Epigraphic Forgeries and the Antiquities Market: A Palaeographer Reflects on the Problem and Proposes Protocols for the Field by Christopher A. Rollston

Epilogue: Methodological Musings From The Field by Andrew G. Vaughn and Christopher A. Rollston

My article is partially based on material that first appeared here on "Ralph." You know my methods, Watson.
