In a letter to the editor published in Queries & Comments, BAR 09:06, the president of HUC, Alfred Gottschalk, said his institution “does intend to proceed with the preservation of Gezer … [but] we simply do not have the funds to preserve the site.”
In a letter to the editor published in Queries & Comments, BAR 09:06, Dever reported that a year earlier he and the president of HUC had submitted a proposal to the Israel Department of Antiquities for the consolidation of Gezer, but at the rime of Dever’s letter, no action had yet been taken. Apparently nothing has happened since then.
