About the Program:
Tell es-Safi/Gath (archaeological site)— On this program, students will gain hands-on archaeological experience at the site Tell es-Safi/Gath. Located approximately halfway between Jerusalem and Ashkelon, Tell es-Safi/Gath is one of the largest biblical sites in Israel and has been settled continuously from the 5th millennium BCE until modern times. The site is one of the earliest cities in the Bronze Age. In later periods, it is known as Goliath’s (from the Bible) home town. Remains of the medieval castle of Blanche Garde sit at the top of the site. Students will work in an international community of researchers as they participate in cutting-edge excavation and analysis at this important Middle Eastern archaeological site.
