Visitors may have noticed that a new section entitled ‘Presentations’ has been added to this website. There you not only find a list of past presentations and lectures we gave around the globe, but you may also have a sneak peek at a sample paper that was delivered recently at a professional conference (this part will only be updated sporadically since we don’t want to shoot our wad in advance...). Consider it as the field report on the 2008 field season!

In view of the image to the right, we would like to ask all visitors of Tel Kinrot to be very vigilant when visiting the site. We invested a lot to protect the now beautifully conserved «Field I» from unwanted guests, especially donkeys. These long-eared fellows love the shades of the high-standing walls and the soft and clean dust covering the floors. But - alas - they heavily damage the ruins. So please: close the gates to the excavation field after entering and leaving the site!

Due to a bug in Internet Explorer 6 (and earlier versions) for Windows, our online application system might have failed in some rare cases. Therefore, if you applied during the last week using this internet browser, your application may not have come through.

In case you did not get an immediate (automated) answer by email after you registered and even more, if you did not get a confirmation that we processed your application, there is a high probability that we do not know about it.

We therefore ask you to apply again – either online (we found a workaround to fix it) or via the downloadable form. We apologize for this inconvenience. You might, however, consider using Firefox in order to avoid such problems in future.

As some of you complained that the old picture gallery has been taken off the web, we uploaded again all images that were once available in the old gallery of this site. The pictures are now in a better resolution and you may download them for your personal use.

However, access is restricted to the participants of the 2007 season. If you follow this link you will be prompted for a user name and a password. The user name is '2007' and the password is the name of the donkey that visited us quite often in the field last season (well... it is not 'axel', but... ; write the password in lowercase). Those who can't figure out the password may contact the 'Webmaster'.
