The Project
This project marks the beginning of a new and exciting journey into the heart of the Jezreel Valley. Our mission is to delve into the valley’s ancient history to reconstruct its social fabric and rural hinterland across the millennia. We aim to clarify the nature of Egyptian imperial rule in the region and gain groundbreaking insights into the origins and formation of early monarchic Israel. We are not just digging a site; we are building a team. As we grow our expedition in the coming years, we are thrilled to have you join us in the field to help bring these “big stories” , to light.

Get to know the directors, area supervisors, assistant area supervisors, registrar and all those responsible for the success of this year’s excavation!
