Trinity students have the opportunity to participate for 2-4 weeks in the exciting excavations at Abel Beth-Maacah, a spectacular site in northern Israel (2 Sam 20.14 ). Co-directed by Robert Mullins of Azusa Pacific University and Nava Panitz-Cohen of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, this expedition emphasizes teaching and multidisciplinary approaches. This robust educational experience will expose the student to all aspects of field archaeology in conjunction with historical and biblical issues.
