Welcome to CBRL’s March newsletter.
Last week CBRL Centenary Award holder Bart Wagemakers gave an excellent lecture that described the significance of non-professional records from digs to tell the history of archaeological expeditions in the Levant and in particular, at Kathleen Kenyon's expedition at Jericho. As part of the project, Bart's students have produced two fantastic short films about dig life with Kenyon that you can
watch here.
