Below is an aerial photo of Tel Kedesh before the excavation began. It's located in the Upper Galilee (see map below). It wass the largest unexcavated tel site the the Upper Galilee. This excavation project was a joint endeavor by the University of Michigan and the University of Minnesota. The site is known in the Bible as a "city of refuge" and it was my refuge and savior during the summer of 2000. |

During the Masada Sunrise Tours, we stopped and saw St. Georges Monastry. It is bulit into the side of the mountains. The picture is kind of bad. |

This Roman cookpot was found in my trench (CB 2.4). I got the opportunity to put it back together. It has a complete rim and profile of the cookpot. It was a great experience and launched me into wanting to become a curator. |
