| FOA Webinar: Sam Wolff & Tel Gezer on Feb. 20 |
Register for our next webinar on Sunday, February 20, at 3:30 pm EST, featuring Sam Wolff's talk on "Excavations at Tel Gezer: A Personal Story." In 1972, a stone vat was discovered in Dr. Sam Wolff’s square in Field VII at Tel Gezer, Israel. He returned to the site as co-director of the Tandy Museum excavations (2006-2017). This webinar will review the results of that project, which took place in the area between the well-known six-chambered Iron Age gate (“Solomon’s Gate”) and that same square that Dr. Wolff excavated in 1972, Field VII. Dr. Wolff will place special emphasis on newly discovered industrial installations, including those related to olive oil production, thus shedding light on important aspects of daily life at Tel Gezer in the Iron Age. Register and pay here. Price is $6 for ASOR members and $12 for non-members. This webinar will be recorded. All proceeds will support membership scholarships and online resources.
