SAY CHEESE! In the early morning at the ancient Jewish village of Shikhin, volunteers hold up a “Joshua Cloth” (see Joshua 10:12) to keep the sun from creating bright and dark areas in the photos. Dig photographer Steven Meigs sits atop a ladder while Samford University student Johnny Herbert holds a meter stick for scale in the site’s Roman-period courtyard. Shikhin was a production center for pottery and lamps.
