Archaeological Fieldwork
The Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures has sponsored archaeological and survey expeditions in nearly every country of the Middle East. There are projects currently active in Egypt, Israel,The Palestinian Territories, Turkey, and Jordan. These completed and ongoing excavations have defined the basic chronologies for many ancient Near Eastern civilizations and made fundamental contributions to our understanding of basic questions in ancient human societies, ranging from the study of ancient urbanism to the origins of food production and sedentary village life in the Neolithic period. Follow projects through their websites.
