This series of excavations have worked to expand the Middle Bronze Age palace and have discovered a possible entrance to an Iron Age IIA water system. Among the major finds were an early alphabetic inscription and a hieratic ostracon bearing a ration list with west-Semitic names, attesting to remarkable early administrative activity at the site. This lecture summarizes and discusses the results of the project in light of the findings from previous excavations.

This event will take place on Monday, November 6th, 2023 at 7:00 pm in the Seminary Chapel at Andrews University and is free and open to the public.

The Institute of Archaeology at Andrews University returned to Khirbet Safra for the 2021 summer season. An Israelite town dating from the period of the Judges to the reign of David, Khirbet Safra has an interesting history of occupation and abandonment. This lecture will examine the recent discoveries, including the ancient gateway and fortification system, the newly opened Field E, and the ancient identity of the site and the people who lived there.

Event will take place on Monday, April 4, 2022 at 7:00 pm in the Seminary Chapel at Andrews University. This event is free and open to the public. Undergraduate Co-Curricular credit will be offered.
