Façade,chamber,writing and return:four original questions for looking closely and separating observation from interpretation.

1. Find one repeated shape on the stela. Separate your visible observation from the claim that it represents a building. What does the photograph not establish about a real dwelling?

2. In the chamber view,describe a joint and a step. Keep the site-name Tomb of Kaleb,the structure’s date and a burial’s identity in three separate notes.

3. Follow one line in the inscription photograph. Compare what you can see with UNESCO’s multilingual record and the Met’s religious-phase discussion. Do not invent a translation or identify the photographed language face.

4. Make three entries for Stela 2:return in 2005,re-erection completed 31 July 2008 and foundation documentation in 1999. Explain why returning the stone and preserving its archaeological setting are connected but different tasks.
