[BibArch Home] [Up] 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
Hatzor
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 Hatzor pottery washing comes first then the rest period. The
balance of the day usually consists of additional free time, excavation work, or
lectures.
