The following is the tentative schedule for the upcoming 2010 Ramat Rahel Archaeological Project. The 2009 excavation season in Ramat Rahel was very successful, and contributed a lot for our understanding of the history of the site and for the history of the land! However, some questions remained with no answers, we left some areas where we didn't finish the excavations and while processing the data, we felt that in some points we need some more clarifications. Therefore we have decided to go back to the site for a short and concentrated season , in order to do some final excavations before concluding the whole project . During this last excavation season of 2010 we will enjoy everyday fieldwork for two weeks
Digging starting very early in the cool morning light. Afternoons will include further digging at the site combined with pottery washing, academic lectures and weekly summary tours in the site led by the area supervisors, scholars and the directors. Evenings will be filled with very special social, cultural and academic activities according to the progress of thew actual fieldwork. The schedule is planned to bring the participants together to experience and share the vast wonders of Jerusalem.
