With considerable regret, ISAR
found it necessary to cancel the 2004 season of excavations at
Banias. After consulting with all the consortium institutions, we
concluded that the present unstable situation in the Middle East
made it difficulty to carry on our work this year. We plan to resume
the excavation next season, however. For information regarding the
2004 excavation season at Banias, please contact Robert R. Cargill

The Banias Expedition: A Joint Project of the Israel
Antiquities Authority and Pepperdine University
Another season of successful excavation was completed at Banias
on Thursday, June 15, 2000. A consortium of American colleges and
universities, led by Pepperdine, participated in this expedition.
These included Averett College, Southwest Missouri State University,
Hardin-Simmons University, Howard Payne University, and Concordia
Seminary (Indiana). Greek students from Athens also participated.
The excavation concentrated on further exposure of the great
"palace" in central Banias. |
