About the Tel Ashdod Archaeological Project
The Tel Ashdod Archaeological Project explores one of Israel’s key coastal mounds, uncovering Canaanite, Philistine, and later remains. Our team combines meticulous excavation, advanced scientific analysis, and regional survey to reconstruct daily life, trade, and ritual across millennia. We collaborate with students, volunteers, and local communities to preserve the site and share new discoveries through hands-on field work.
Newsroom
Flights are Booked for our colleagues from abroad as our team prepares for our upcoming season at Tel Ashdod in just a few weeks.
We will continue work revealing the Iron Age gate, excavated in the early 60s by Moshe Dothan, that has fallen into disrepare over the past several decades.
We are working hand-in-hand with the national parks authority on the plans for preservation and restoration of the site for future visitors.
