J. Huston McCulloch was a professor of economics and finance at Ohio State University who maintained this detailed reference page on the Newark, Ohio Decalogue Stone and Keystone as a personal scholarly project outside his own academic field, drawing on his own study of the inscriptions and their history since their 1860 discovery. Its strength is genuine care and detail, a careful review of the objects, their Hebrew inscriptions and the case for and against authenticity, published on an Ohio State University faculty page rather than a self published fringe site. Its limit is that McCulloch was not a professional epigrapher or archaeologist and that mainstream archaeological opinion, including Ohio History Connection's own published analysis, treats the stones as a nineteenth century forgery, a conclusion this page itself does not fully share. Cite it as a detailed and transparent minority argument, not as the settled archaeological verdict.
