Upcoming Informational Meeting

Join Wheaton Professors, Dr. Daniel Master (Archaeology) and Dr. Jordan Ryan (New Testament) for our summer excavation and field school.

The Tel Shimron Excavation seeks to understand the ancient world, including the world of the Bible, in order to provide resources for the study of Levantine history and culture from the last five thousand years.

Tel Shimron Excavations is your portal to a summer filled with adventure and purpose, where you can be on the front lines of a hands-on archaeological dig and contribute to top-level historical research while working in the ancient lands of the Bible.
