Jerusalem will host Archaeology 2015, an international conference on the findings and discoveries resulting from archeological excavations in Israel, from June 21-25, 2015. Archeology 2015 will be held in English and is open to participants from around the world who are interested in archeology, history, religion, education and the arts. The conference will offer tours of the most intriguing sites in the Holy Land and will allow participants to meet with researchers and excavators.
Since the early 1960s, when 6,000 volunteers from around the world gathered in the Judean Desert, overlooking the Dead Sea, to participate in an excavation to uncover the legendary story of Masada, Israel has not hosted a major international conference to discuss its amazing archaeological treasures. The International Conference on Archaeology in Israel and the Ancient Near East is a unique celebration of 50 years of scientific archaeological excavation and research. We invite all interested parties to participate, to hear first hand of the latest, most exciting discoveries, to actually see the finds and meet the archaeologists who are excavating sites throughout the Lands of the Bible, and to visit and explore these sites in specially organized, professional tours: from “King David’s palace” in Jerusalem to the “tomb of Herod”, from biblical battlefields to Crusader fortresses, from ancient monasteries in the isolated Judean Desert to fascinating seaports and ancient agricultural villages that have been miraculously preserved.
The scientific committee of the conference invites experts to submit abstracts on the conference topics. The list of topics is presented on the conference web-site:http://holy-land-archeology.com/index.php?page_id=16
