Our fifth day since arriving in Israel, and our third day on the tools at the Bethsaida archaeology project.
Despite strong winds coming up around 11.00am, we made fantastic progress in Area T today. We exposed a wall running the entire width of our square. It was not only almost right on top of the northern boundary line, but even turned a snappy 90 degrees at the NW corner of our square to continue a metre or so so south along the western boundary of the square.
The wall can be seen here:
While the neat change of direction in the NW corner can be seen here:
The energy levels in the square rose perceptibly as these walls began to be uncovered. While it is not yet clear how they connect (if at all) with the lower walls found in 2012 and 2013, it sure will be interesting to find out.
Stay tuned for the next update …
