Welcome Home! 
By: Kim Maeyama
As a fitting tribute to all those who made this summer a great success, I felt it necessary to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to all participants for their hard work. In particular, I wish to thank all of our newsletter staffers. They took it upon themselves to keep this newsletter alive and fresh and were it not for their efforts, this newsletter would not have developed. It is now that we begin to reflect on our adventure at Tell el-Far'ah (S).

 
IT @ Far'ah 2
By: Sam Craig

One of the things that surprised me the most when Kim started talking about archaeology was the absence of Information Technology (IT); computer technology. It seemed to me that IT was ready made for the needs of archaeology. When Kim was at tel Harrasim she showed me the annual report and I was appalled that it was a paper report.
"A City in Stone"
By: Edgar Martin del Campo

I returned to Eilat last weekend solely to visit Petra. As soon as I had heard about plans to see this city, I was the first person to sign up. Why would I miss the chance to experience Jordan's most celebrated attraction? After seeing it for myself, I must say that Petra was everything I expected and more. (Photos taken from the gallery of Steve Underwood. Visit http://website.lineone.net/~steve.underwood/ for more wonderful shots of Petra and many other sites throughout the Middle East.)
