Tell es-Safi/Gath on the NOVA documentary

Despite the fact that I had thought that we would be starring in the NOVA documentary on the Bible, in fact, from what I was told, the Philistine section had been completely cut out of the movie as shown on TV last week. Nevertheless, to compensate, various extras for the televised version have been added to both the NOVA website and to the DVD that they will be selling.

So, if you want to look at the short 5 minute section on the Philistines, including a minute or two of views of the dig at Tell es-Safi and short interviews with Justin Lev-Tov and yours truly, go to to this link.
