Israel Finkelstein, a researcher at the Archaeology Institute of the University of Tel-Aviv, has had joint charge of excavations in Megiddo, in the North of Israel, for almost ten years.
About 100 specialists and volunteers from all over the world are involved in this undertaking.
Megiddo is the jewel of Biblical archaeology. It's history goes back over 7 millenniums of contacts and conflicts between the great powers that dominated the region in turn: Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon, followed by the Persian empire.
