    I have missed Dr Mazar and her lovely videos of the dig so to see the site in such a flurry of activity brings tears to the eyes. In such a short space of time, already an exciting discovery. It’s spine tingling. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.

    Let the dirt fly!

    You know, those white shades you guys have kind of make it look something like circus tents from afar … but I like the change. Keep up the good work.

    I am almost speechless, what a great sign of things to come (the figurine). So good to see Dr. Mazar looking and sounding so good. It’s seems a long time since I’ve seen her. The site looks beautiful and I’m so happy to be back.
