Barbara Taylor

Barbara "Barb" Taylor was a Protestant evangelical from Pawtucket, Rhode Island. She worked as a volunteer on a long term archaeological dig in Israel under Yoram Louvish. She was an even-tempered woman who would not get angry, nor did she try to proselytize her mostly Jewish colleges. Orly Binur, a grad student on the project, still found her irritating and tried to anger or embarrass her to no effect. When Louvish recruited Binur, Eric Katz and Munir al-Nuwayhi for a clandestine dig, he spoke in Hebrew which Taylor did not understand.
