Just got the great news that Joe Uziel, long time member of the Safi staff and currently, the Area Supervisor of Area D (the lower city), has just had his PhD cofirmed, and so, as of now, he may be officially be called Dr. Uziel!!
Joe’s thesis, which is entitled: The Southern Coastal Plain of Canaan During the Middle Bronze Age (Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, 2008), is a regional study of the Southern Coastal Plain of Canaan during the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 2000-1550 BCE), based on previous studies (excavations and surveys) of the regions and the publication of the MB finds from two previously unpublished excavations – Tel Nagila and Tel Yavneh Yam. Joe carried out an in-depth analysis of the material culture, settlement pattern and political structure, and I believe produced a study that will be of much importance for anyone studying the coastal plain in general, and the Land of Israel during the MB.
Mazal tov! Mabruk! Great work!

P.S. We now have so many Doctors on the staff of the Safi excavations that we should open a clinic and start treating patients … My expertise will be dealing with “chronic cracked pots” …

Congratulations Congratulations Joe!! Col HaCavod and I hope you’re enjoying your newly accomplished title. Elior and I will be coming for a visit later this season. Hopefully you’ll be walking a little more lightly this season in downtown Gath :)
