The term OT is highly offensive to those who don't have a n NT. I also tend to shy away from it because it seems to imply that the books are authoritative in a way they shouldn't be for secular historians, who should be free to consider the hypotheses that a certain passage may refelect some sort of historical fact, or may be the fantasies of a later age.
