Breaking News:
The first excavation of Tel Nissa (Tell el-Manshiya) has been approved, one of the outcomes of BibleWalks Jordan Valley survey. It is headed by the distinguished archaeologists Professor Emeritus Amihai Mazar (Hebrew University), Dr. Yoav Vaknin (Tel Aviv University) and Archaeologist Ayelet Goldberg -Keidar (Hebrew University).
Prof. Mazar is one of the most senior experts on Biblical Archaeology, and among his major projects are the Beth Shean Valley Archaeological Project and the excavation and publications of Tel Beit Shean and Tel Rechov. Doctor Yoav Vaknin specializes on archaeomagnetic dating of mud bricks, a new technology which will help to determine the destruction time of the site.
A polygon survey will be conducted on Nov 24, 26, 27, 2023. We are seeking volunteers to participate in this research endeavor.
