What’s It Really Like on a Dig?
Why Are We Excavating?
WHY WE EXIST
The Tel Shimron Excavation seeks to understand the ancient world, including the world of the Bible, in order to provide resources for the study of Levantine history and culture from the last five thousand years.
“It was so hands on. You can’t learn archaeology in a classroom, you need to be in the field actually doing the work.”
“It provided insight into the field of archaeology and aided in clarifying my personal academic outlook.”
