The Ashkelon 2016 season starts in less than two weeks, but some staff members are already in Israel conducting surveys of Tel Shimron. This is the last year of digging at Ashkelon and staff will excavate Tel Shimron next year, summer 2017. You can catch a glimpse of Daniel Master, Tracy Hoffman and Rebecca Dutton (learn more about the staff) enjoying the beautiful view of the Jezreel Valley.
