Welcome!!

Hello, Hello! Welcome to the first official edition of the Tel el-Far'ah Newsletter! It is my hope that this newsletter will serve as a connection between all personnel participating in this summer's excavation and those who, fortunately or unfortunately depending upon how you look at it, are not!
