We've now had four days in the field at Tel Rehov. It is fascinating just what is coming out of the earth in some parts of the tel. My area is not having too many finds...small pieces of pottery sherds, bone fragments, seashells and flint. Other than the great find Karly discovered on Tuesday (see previous blog), it's been slow in our area. I've visited the other areas and they seem to be having great success with their finds. During the pre-dinner hours each day we wash the pottery that we have found the previous day and then sort them for cataloging later in the dig office. We also have the privilege of listening to lectures on Tel Rehov and other aspects of archaeology by very prominant people in the field. If you'd like to find out more about the digsite, log onto rehov.org where you'll find information about where we're digging.
The students are looking forward to the weekend, when many of them are taking off for nearby distinations, such as the resort we stayed at when we were at the Sea of Galilee last week (En Gev). Others are planning a trip to Petra. Me, I'm relaxing at the kibbutz here, borrowing a Jane Austin book and taking it slow. That's my idea of a great weekend!
I'll keep checking in, when there is news to tell.
Blessings and Shalom!
