Thinking Ahead to Summer … Digs in ’79

Keeping in mind Dan Cole’s advice in the previous article, on “How to Pick A Dig,” now read below to discover which digs will be seeking volunteers in Israel this summer.

It has become a BAR spring ritual to publish a round-up of archaeological excavations seeking volunteer participants for the up-coming summer season. As in previous years, we have tried to be as complete and accurate as time and the availability of information permit, but the following information for this summer is offered with the caveat that some of it may change by June.

Remember—as a number of readers have written—age need not be a deterrent to joining a dig if good health and spirit are there. Try it. You will never read BAR in quite the same way again!
