The 2010 Field Season Is On Its Way

Back in the Field! — Excavation and Survey Season at Horvat Kur and Study Season at Tel Kinrot: June 20 - July 16, 2010
04/01/10 23:00

Volunteers will participate in all stages of investigations, be able to take part in a Field School and earn ECTS credits. At the end of the season team members will have a basic knowledge of relevant artefacts, their form and function, classification systems, production and finishing techniques and different excavation and survey methods and be familiar with important sites in the region.
We are looking for 20 - 25 enthusiastic volunteers:
- who will take part in excavating the small Galilean village site at Horvat Kur and in the systematic field survey of its surroundings, want to learn how to analyze and interpret finds and data and are eager to get to know the region and its material culture.
- who will help processing finds and data from Tel Kinrot, a neighbouring Iron Age I-site that has extensively been excavated by Kinneret Regional Project until 2008. Now, analysis and preparation for publication are underway, so volunteers will get an insight into how archaeological publications are written and can help in that process with various supportive tasks.

2008 Field Season Approaching...
09/04/08 17:27

This year, we will conduct a surface survey and soundings at Horvat Kur with remains from the Hellenistic to the Byzantine periods (3th c. BCE to 6 c. CE). Furthermore, we intend to excavate (and conserve) the last remaining portion of a large domestic complex dating to the end of the Iron Age I (ca. 950 BCE) at Tel Kinrot. Work in the field will be accompanied by evening lectures and field trips on weekends. No tuition fees are charged.
