2016 Offseason Week 4

Tracy Hoffman January 24, 2016

We are just four months away from members of the senior staff heading to Israel to prepare for the season.

During the 1991 field season, work continued in Grids 2, 38, 50 and 57.

In Grid 50, Square 47 was opened and excavation began in an effort to bring it into phase with the remainder of the grid. Elsewhere, excavation moved the grid closer to the 604 destruction of the city.

In Grid 38, work focused on the excavation of a large courtyard building flanked by a street on its western side.

Over on the North Tell, excavation continued to reveal the towering mudbrick fortifications of the Bronze Age city.
