Israel, Spring and fall 2012

Participate in the archaeological field school program of the Akko Archaeology, Heritage, and History Project, which will explore the ancient and modern heritage of this UNESCO World Heritage city via “total archaeology.”  This approach recognizes that Akko’s rich past – both material and spiritual – is intertwined with the city’s present and future.  This is your opportunity to join the quest to uncover Akko’s past as well as to work on conservation of historical remains at other sites in the city with Akko’s major stakeholders that include Old Acre Development Company (a government company subordinate to the Ministry of Tourism), Amidar (Israel National Housing Company; owner of abandoned properties), UNESCO, Israel Antiquities Authority, the local municipality, numerous local and diverse communities, pre- and post-1948 communities, private investors and local businesses.
