I'm not an expert on Biblical archaeology, but my dad's always been pretty in to it, and things come up now and again at church, or even in general. Like, for a long time, they thought writing was invented at one time, long after the time of Moses, which was the basis for some claims about the Pentateuch. But in more recent years, they've found evidence of much older writing, which destroys that argument, although it doesn't actually prove anything. (I don't have specifics off the top of my head, though I"m sure I could find them if I looked.) ANyway, that sort of thing is of interest not just to Bible scholars, but to anyone interested in the development of language and writing.
