As I wrote in a post several weeks ago, as of tomorrow morning, we will be starting a short season at the site (from Sunday till Thursday) to work on a limited number of issues. Only members of the permanent staff will be participating, along with a team from the Kimmel Center for Archaeological Science, from the Weizmann Institute, led by Prof. Steve Weiner. The objectives of this short season are: 1) To finish up some unexcavated parts of Area C6 – which is next to the siege system, so that we can wrap up this area and its publication; 2) To start a long-term cooperation with the Kimmel Center, one that will hopefully continue in during the summer of 2006 and in following years; 3) To do some scouting around the site in preparation for the coming season, possibly to mark out new areas for excavation; 4) host various visitors from various environmental agencies, to discuss potential environmental-related projects connected with the excavations.
As the week goes by, I will be updating on what happens.
