Reports are out that a joint IAA/BGU team is working on excavating a complete 1/2 million year old elephant tusk from the Revadim Quarry, which is just a couple of km north of Tell es-Safi/Gath. This is not the first evidence of elephants from this site (see here), but definitely is a very nice find!
In a hat tip to the great Groucho Marx, I do hope they will manage to Tuscaloosa it quickly and without damage…:-)
