In mid-June Marion and I will depart for our five-week adventure as part of a team of 80+ volunteers working on the Mt. Zion Project.

“The project is under the academic oversight of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the only American university currently licensed to carry out such excavations in Jerusalem.  Dr. Shimon Gibson, Visiting Professor of Archaeology in the Department of History and a Senior Fellow at the Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem, and Dr. James Tabor, Professor of Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity in the Department of Religious Studies, serve as Directors of the excavation, along with Prof. Rafi Lewis of Haifa University.”

We will use this blog to post our discoveries and learnings and invite you to comment and post your questions along the way.  We hope you will join us on this adventure!
