Everyone has returned home from the 2021 season and we are already looking forward to returning to the field in 2022. Visit us on TikTok (https://t.co/b1C11zL4rx) to hear participants reflect on the season.

This week of digging is almost over and then we have just one week left!

Much work goes into excavating walls and cobble surfaces, and getting them ready for photography! We demand a surprising amount of sweeping dirt.

Check out this beautiful Middle Bronze II juglet! While we often find fragmented vessels that can be restored, it's rare to fine whole, unbroken vessels in perfect condition.

Fact: Israel has the best, freshest gummy candy.

Most of us are taking the weekend off and will be back to excavating tomorrow - two more weeks of digging to go!
