Here is an early glimpse at what promises to be an interesting and helpful view of our work.
There are several parallels for the mosaic inscriptions from the House of Tyche. The garden inscription has parallels at Tell el-Farama and Shiqmona near Haifa (with the same misspelling). The inscription from the entrance hall has parallels at Pompeiopolis and Krokodeilon Polis near Caesarea (SEG 56 (2006): 1891). Click to hear Dr. Schuler on KFUO radio discussing inscriptions from 2011, the James Box, and doing archaeology in Israel, from a broadcast on 18 October. Plans are beginning for the 2012 Season. We will be excavating Building Beta in the western zone, and we will be exposing another section of the House of Tyche. Explore the “Volunteer Info” menu above for full details. Click “Dig Registration” when you are ready to sign up. We hope to see you at Sussita. Click here to download a brochure and poster. |
