Ashkelon Dig Information

http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~semitic/ashkelon_dig.html

This is the website where you can learn about the dig and see where we are going to staying.  We will be digging right on the coast of the Mediterranean sea!


This is one of the special finds someone found on a dig... I'd settle for finding anything!!

Our accommodations on the dig look fantastic, on some digs you sleep in trailers for four weeks, I think we got the upgrade.

Paid In Full!!

We have paid for our flights and for the actual dig.   So our savings is drained, but as everyone always tell us, this is a once and a lifetime opportunity, so we intend to enjoy every minute of it!  God has always blessed us financially and we have no doubt He will continue to provide.
