Har ‘Amasa (Northeast)

In August and November–December 2020, a salvage excavation was conducted on a segment of a Roman road northeast of the Har ‘Amasa community (Permit No. A-8816; map ref. 210008–365/583980–4479; Fig. 1) prior to laying a water line. The excavation, on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority and funded by the Mekorot company, was directed by D. Eisenberg-Degen, with the assistance of Y. Alamor (administration) and E. Aladjem (drone photography, surveying and plans). The excavation was conducted as part of the Adopt-A-Site program, with children from Har ‘Amasa and youth instructors S. Kursh, A. Montagu, D. Aladjem and L. Davies of the IAA. The project continued in 2021.
