The field school will include extensive training in excavation methods and recording procedures, as well as lectures and field trips on the archaeology of the region. It was an important settlement on the north-south thoroughfare that linked the ancient land of Canaan with Syria. Three prior seasons of excavation have uncovered the remains of four successive settlements dating to the Early Bronze I, II and III periods, and highlight the impact of urban growth on the social and economic fabric of this rural village community. The 2000 field season will be devoted to uncovering the residential area of the settlement, which to date has produced a wealth of artifacts that document the everyday life of the town's inhabitants.
