Waking up at 4:10 this morning was as difficult as ever but
of course we all did it. As we stumbled into the cars for the short trip to the
slopes of the area around the tel, the realization that this was our final day
of survey for the
Jezreel Expedition set in. While the work was tiring and
occasionally stressful my experience working with the team members and other
students has been great.
Actually doing
archaeology is such a different experience than sitting in a classroom or
studying at a desk.
Exploring caves and
cisterns, finding pottery and tombs: these are experiences that I will never
forget and I am grateful that I got the opportunity to participate in the first
season at Jezreel. I can’t wait to learn about the future work Norma, Jennie
and the rest of the team will accomplish here!
