Excavations reveal findings in Niẕẕana, involving archaeologists and students, suggesting the site's historical significance.
In July–August 2022, the first season of the renewed excavations was held at Niẕẕana (License No. G-31/2022; map ref. 145643–6044/531606–984). The excavation, undertaken on behalf of the Department of Archaeology of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), was directed by Y. Tchekhanovets, with the assistance of A. Rasiuk (area supervision), A. Levy and A. Peretz (area supervision and photography), D. Fuks (archaeobotany), O. Pogorelsky (epigraphy), H. Shkolnik (numismatics), Y. Shmidov and A. Wiegman (surveying, modeling, aerial photography) and students of BGU and volunteers. We are grateful to T. Erickson-Gini and R. Lavy for their valuable help and advice during the excavations and thank the Israel Antiquities Authority and Israel Nature and Parks Authority for their support. Thanks are also due to Niẕza̱na Youth Village for accommodating the expedition.
