Since 2011, Prof. Jodi Magness has led archaeological excavations at the site of Huqoq in Israel’s Galilee, where she and her team have garnered international attention for their discovery of an ancient synagogue building with stunning mosaic floors. She is returning to Huqoq in summer 2019 and invites students to participate in the excavation through UNC’s Study Abroad program.

This coming season, the excavations will take place May 27–June 27, 2019. The deadline to apply for the program is February 10, 2019. The field school program (course number CLAR 650) offers students 6 hours of academic credit.

For more information, including instructions for the online application, see the UNC Study Abroad link here. You can also see the excavation website at huqoq.web.unc.edu.
