UE Students Excavate Armageddon

Hilda (in blue hard hat) and Emily (far right) work the bucket line at Megiddo.

The eight UE students and recent graduates who participated in the 2012 Jezreel Expedition also had the opportunity to excavate nearby Megiddo - biblical Armageddon - for one week in June. The students really enjoyed the chance to dig at one of the most famous sites in "biblical archaeology" and learn excavation techniques with more than one hundred students and staff from all over the world.
