In the Valley of Elah: Excavations at Khirbet Qeiyafa, Israel

Abstract

In 2009, nine Oakland University students and two faculty members, Associate Professor Richard Stamps and Special Instructor Michael Pytlik, participated in an excavation at the small site of Khirbet Qeiyafa, also known as biblical Sha’arayim, Israel. In 2010, thirteen students returned with these faculty members, to the same site for further excavations, and to learn in a more developed field school.
