Shalom dear friends. I have been away (far away) on a dig for six days, without my laptop. And now, coming home for the weekend, I find my modem is not working. So, a few minutes on the neighbors' wireless now is all that is possible.Hopefully, after another week of archaeology in Tiberias, I'll come home next Friday and the telephone company will have fixed the ADSL connection. Missing you!

Digging is not all pickaxe, turia, trowel, and brush. Sometimes, if you are lucky, it is also washing a mosaic floor with wet rags!
This one is probably 6th or 7th century.

The dig is fun. Nice group of young staff and many volunteers from abroad. Tiberias is very hot, in the 90s F.
Lots more pics next week. Thanks for waiting. Shalom to you all!

Well, I just cleaned and washed my 20th century floor, wish it was much older and interesting! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Be careful and safe. I missed your "bench" this week.
ReplyDeleteI am so wicked jealous! 90??!! It's in the lower 50's here and that's a "heat wave" for late October!
ReplyDeleteAch, I'm going somewhere warm in a bit, so I mustn't grumble.
Dina, it sounds like you were having a great time with your archeological dig. And this one, could you please share with us (me) the mozaic, please?
ReplyDelete:D

I let you wash, Dina....See you next week for the promised pictures. Good week....
ReplyDeleteHey, this is great! Rarely do we get to see you at work, and it's a thrill. Anything else you can tell us about the dig would be appreciated--when you get your ADSL working, of course.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I am so glad you are able to do some archaeology.
ReplyDeleteIn the news recently was the discovery of a Mayan pyramid and city the size of downtown Los Angeles. Awesome!
I especially love seeing this photo of you, Dina. Welcome back. I hope you can get your equipment fixed right away. I'll be looking forward to seeing your photos.
ReplyDeleteWhen you will be back into the realm of internet, you might discover that I gave you an award...
ReplyDeleteShalom! You know that we were concerned about you didn't you, Dina?
ReplyDeleteAloha, Friend!

Oh, how I long to be with you.
ReplyDeleteWhen the floor is washed, I hope you can take a photo of it!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I'll just repeat what I said last week: Please take care of yourself, Dina. Especially in that heat!
Can't wait to see pics from the dig. What an exciting adventure AND important! Missing you on Sacred Sunday.
ReplyDeleteInteresting shot, the mosaic looks great, hard to believe it's that old. Good to see you wear knee protectors.
ReplyDeleteIt would be thrilling to have the opportunity to participate in uncovering ancient treasures like this! I'm glad you share some of your archaeological adventures with us...thank you!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Dina! Don't work too much! ;-)
ReplyDeleteMiss your posts and comments!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the digging!!
Have a great week!
It's fascinating, what you do. I'm anxiously waiting for more when you get the time!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Have a good time. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be on such an ancient floor. I wonder what the vibrations are like, and I look forward to hearing more about this site when you return.
ReplyDeleteI can see why people would wish to volunteer for this excitement of unearthing the past.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you beautiful Dina and your team!
shalom love and light.
Aha! I had wondered why I didn't see daily photos from you! I gave your blog address to a Jewish client of mine. Gary was going to give it to several of his friends. I think you need kneepads for washing tile floors!
