SHILOH galLery
The new Shiloh Excavation Project started in 2017 by the Associates for Biblical Research. Previous digs at Shiloh were performed in the 1920’s by a Danish group and then later in the 1980’s by Dr. Israel Finkelstein of Tel Aviv University. Our dig, however, confirmed the Biblical Historicity of the site.

Conservation and Restoration Project

In 2017 I was also tasked as being the Conservation and Restoration Supervisor. Project S.C.A.R.P. as I call it, is an ongoing post dig program that is tasked with stabilizing, conserving and restoring certain walls, edifices, and rooms that were uncovered in that season. We need to stabilize and conserve these items or they will be lost to erosion and mishandling.
