About the Dig

The excavation, part of the continuing Beth-Shean Valley Archaeological Project, is led by Professor Amihai Mazar of Institute of Archaeology of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem  and recent recipient of the prestigious Israel Prize for Archaeology who is assisted by Dr. Nava Cohen-Panitz. The excavation is sponsored by a generous donation by Mr. John Camp. An international staff of professional archaeologists, various experts, and Bible specialists will lead the field work and we welcome volunteers from all walks of life to partake of this broadening and exciting experience.
