Not happy

Many of my files related to uni work and research have been corrupted. Essentially all the word files I open in the folder are full of jibberish and a sentence in English reading:

he Hasmonean period recently exposed in the western plain of Jericho" Israel Exploration Journal , 49:3-4 , 1999 , 203-221
Goldberg G. J., "The Coincidences of the Testimonium of Josephus and the Emmaus Narrative of Luke", The Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha 13 (1995) pp. 59-

I have no memory of ever using either of those citations, let alone writing about Jericho but it appears they are all that survive.
