Planned Daily Schedule
We will work every week Sunday through Friday; note that on Friday fieldwork will stop a little earlier and a small tour around the site will complete the last work day of the week. Occasionally, lectures will take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The daily schedule is as follows:

04:30–04:45 | Coffee/Tea (“Sugar Breakfast”) | 13:00–14:30 | Lunch and Siesta |

05:00–08:30 | Fieldwork | 18:30–19:15 | Dinner |
08:30–09:30 | Breakfast | 19:15–20:00 | Occasional Lectures or continued Lab Work |
09:30–12:15 | Fieldwork | 22:00 | Time to go to bed… (you need your sleep) |
Private Excursions and Weekends
Team members may organize short excursions on their own for small groups to destinations in the nearby region (e.g., Capernaum) in late afternoons – if work allows – and on weekends. However, these excursions will not be guided by the project staff and are not included in the official program.
Note that it is possible that the security situation in Israel may prevent reaching certain locations (we especially discourage you from traveling to the Westbank). – In any case, your accommodation and meals during the weekends are covered by the project.
