  1. Dig Biblical “Gath of the Philistines” Follow in the Footsteps of David and Goliath Take part in discovering the Holy Land’s exciting past. Excavate at Tell es-Safi, biblical Gath of the Philistines (home of Goliath). Located in central Israel, it is one of the largest archaeological sites in the region. Rich finds include Bronze and Iron Age (Biblical Period) remains, such as well-preserved destruction levels, a monumental siege system, various ancient inscriptions (including the so-called “Goliath” inscription), and impressive evidence of the Canaanite, Philistine and Israelite cultures. Come learn about—and “touch”—biblical times and history. Join us this summer! July 6 – August 1, 2008 Volunteer and academic programs are offered through Bar-Ilan University, Israel’s largest academic community For information, surf to: www.dig-gath.org or our blog: gath.wordpress.com, or contact the project director, Prof. Aren M.
