This section will help you get started on finding an archaeological excavation that’s right for you, but there’s lots more on the Web at www.biblicalarchaeology.org/digs, which we developed to share excavation opportunities with our readers.
The chart below provides key information on 25 digs. On the Web you’ll find even more excavations, and a full description of each site, the excavation’s goals for the coming season, important finds from past seasons, Biblical connections, profiles of dig directors, as well as photos of diggers at work and play. The right archaeological adventure for you might be just a click away.
