Preseason Day Eight

Tonight is our last night in Mizra. Tomorrow we move to Nahalal which is just a short 5 minute drive from Tel Shimron. After several days of touring, our volunteers will arrive on site tomorrow for a day of seminars on everything from archaeobotany to GIS. We start excavating on Thursday. As we spend the evening preparing to move, here are some pictures from around the excavation.
