Your work schedule will be dependent upon conditions at the excavation site. A work day begins quite early so that you will normally be at the site at dawn. The schedule below, a fairly typical one for summer excavations in Israel, is the one followed at the Hazor Excavations. It should give you a general idea of what a representative day at a dig is like. Most excavations schedule a rest period following lunch. At Hazor pottery washing comes first then the rest period. The balance of the day usually consists of additional free time, excavation work, or lectures.

Does the national archive and treasury of the kings of Judah lie hidden deep underground in the ancient City of David?

NEW

The tomb of King David has been lost since the days of Herod the Great. Have archaeologists and historians now isolated its location? New research suggests the tomb, and a national archive and treasury containing unbelievable wealth, lies not far south of the Haram esh-Sharif. You will find the implications astounding.


What was Jerusalem in the days of Herod and Jesus really like?

Tradition places Herod's Temple on the Haram esh-Sharif. Is this really the site of the Temple in Jesus' day? A new carefully detailed compilation and analysis of the historical evidence says -- absolutely not!

The Old City of Jerusalem

This small sample section of a beautiful map from the Survey of Israel, suitable for framing, is a must for serious students of the Bible. The map sets forth the topography of the city and provides labels for all major landmarks.
