Professor from Israel giving presentation at Tusculum in September
Dr. Yosef “Yossi” Garfinkel, a professor of archaeology at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, who spoke at Tusculum in 2022, will return in September to give another presentation.
He will deliver his lecture Monday, Sept. 15, at 6 p.m. in the Dr. Nancy B. Moody Lecture Hall in the Meen Center. The topic will be “Searching for the first Biblical Kings of Jerusalem: David, Solomon and Rehoboam.”
Dr. Garfinkel leads excavation work at Tel Lachish in Israel. Tel Lachish is the site where the ruins of the ancient Canaanite and Judean cities of Lachish are located. Through Dr. Hummel’s connections with Dr. Garfinkel, two students and a recent graduate were able to assist with excavation at Tel Lachish in 2023.
