American students at HUC-JIR and Israeli volunteers formed the enthusiastic labor force. In 1978, students from Wooster College, Ohio, under the direction of Dr. and Mrs. J. Arthur Baird, were welcome workers. In 1980, students from Lewis and Clark College, Portland, Oregon, under the direction of Dr. and Mrs. Richard L. Rohrbaugh, joined us. And in 1981, students from the University of Wisconsin, under the direction of Professor Keith N. Schoville, and from the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, under the direction of Dr. and Mrs. B. Elmo Scoggin, were part of our excavation team.
