Omrit Excavations Information Session

Have you ever wanted to participate in an archaeological excavation? Or spend a summer traveling in Israel? If so, please come to the Omrit Excavations Information Session on Wednesday, Dec. 5 at 7:00 pm in Griffin 3.

Professor Benjamin Rubin will give a short presentation about his archaeological field project at Omrit in Israel. The purpose of this presentation is to familiarize students with the history and archaeological significance of the Roman temple-complex at Omrit, and to solicit volunteers for the 2013 field season. There will also be a short presentation by students describing their experiences on the dig.

Professor Rubin is currently seeking ten students to accompany him on the excavations this summer (May 26-June 30, 2013). Interested students will be required to fill-out a short application available at the information session.
