Posted on September 4, 2014 by LukeChandler

In case any of this blog’s readers can attend, there is a conference on Khirbet Qeiyafa this Saturday, September 6th, at the University of Bern. Speakers include Professors Yossi Garfinkel, Aren Maeir, Thomas Römer, Dr. Stefan Münger, Silvia Schroer, and Benjamin Sass.

The detailed schedule is on this flyer.

Evidence suggests this may be a Judahite city dating to the time of Saul or David’s governments. (Photo by Sky View, courtesy of the IAA)

  An excellent question. It’s still being kept close to the vest. I’m not privy to this one!
