Archaeology Snapshot is a discussion on the location, timeline, main characters and highlights from history and archaeology, for each Sefer in Tanach.
Sefer Tehillim, Psalms, is traditionally the first and opening sefer in Ketubim. In some traditions it is after Ruth, which makes sense because Ruth ends with the birth of King David.
