| On
the northern end of the important Biblical site of Megiddo
a structure was unearthed whose original function is
unclear. The purpose of this project is to reconstruct
the structure and to test the hypothesis that it was
used as a stable for horses. The project was undertaken
in conjunction with Tel Aviv University and the Pennsylvania
State University. Chair of the Scientific committee
is Megiddo excavator Israel Finkelstein, whose recent
book, The Bible Unearthed (New York 2000), deals extensively
with the site. |
