Last night the staff and volunteers who spent their last week at Megiddo enjoyed a nice evening out in Tel Aviv.
Dinner in Tel Aviv
After dinner, the staff returned to Jerusalem where work resumed this morning at the Albright. Meghan achieved a great milestone today -- she finished the inventory of the Vault. What does this mean? It means that we can now move out of the Lab and hand the keys over to our landlord who is already eagerly looking for new renters. With the Lab closing, tomorrow will see the first trip to the post office as we work on shipping items back to Wheaton and Harvard.
Our remote season shut down continues to go smoothly. Books are done, computers and hard drives are almost all backed-up, plans are in the work to bring a team back in October to finish the salvage excavation and staff members still here are turning their attention to the various Ashkelon research projects for which they are responsible.
