Jezreel Valley Regional Project

The Jezreel Valley Regional Project is a long-term archaeological survey and excavation project, exploring the Jezreel Valley in Israel, from prehistory to modern times during the British Mandate.

Background

The project is directed by Matthew J. Adams. Its stated mission is to present a "a total history of the region using the tools and theoretical approaches of such disciplines as archaeology, anthropology, geography, history, ethnography, and the natural sciences, within an organizational framework provided by landscape archaeology".
The Jezreel Valley Regional Project undertakes excavations at key sites for Biblical archaeology and Judeo-Christian history, including Tel Megiddo, Tel Shush, Ein el-Jarba, Tel Shimron and the Roman camp town of Legio.
