Then new digs were conducted from the late 1960s onwards, using advanced scientific methods based on modern geological, archeological and palynological (paleontological study of pollen, fossils, etc.) research. Flint tools, animal bones and human burials found in the Carmel Caves contribute greatly to the understanding of the physical and cultural evolution of man in the early phases of his existence.

  • olive oil press at Kursi, Israel Kursi is the Arabic name for the ruin on the eastern shores of the Sea of Galilee, Israel. During the mishnaic and talmudic periods this was a Jewish fishing village. Excavations revealed the remnants of the largest Byzantine-period monastery in Israel (123 by 145 meters). The monastery and the church inside it were built in the middle of the fifth century C.E. In the church, archeologists found a mosaic floor with pictures of animals (chickens, geese, doves, cormorants, and fish), and plants such as citrons, dates, pomegranates, and grapes. According to the New Testament, Jesus healed a man possessed by demons in Kursi. Mark relates that when Jesus disembarked from his boat, a "man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him." A herd of swine was grazing in the area and Jesus cast the demonic spirits from the man to the swine. The swine then ran into the Sea of Galilee and drowned (Mark 5: 1-20)

  • Students and instructor at the entrance to Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi's catacomb at Beit Shearim Israel The Jewish town of Beit She'arim flourished during the 2-4 centuries CE (the Roman period). The people of Beit She'arim dug ornate catacombs, interconnected by tunnels, creating a huge underground necropolis - a city of the dead. The caves are full of stylized sarcophagi, decorated with Jewish and secular symbols. Beit She'arim was destroyed during the mutiny against Galos the emperor in the year 352 CE. The town of Beit She'arim became an important spiritual center when Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi ("Rabbi"), who was the spiritual authority of the time, made his home there. Rabbi was known as the sealer of the "Mishna". Rabbi also moved the "Sanhedrin" (the religious-judicial authority) to Beit She'arim. When he died in the year 220 CE, Rabbi was buried in one of the caves, a fact that made Beit Shearim an important burial place, for Jews of Israel and the Diaspora.  during excavations done in th
