Summer Research Opportunities
Dr. Jessie Pincus, Postdoctoral Research Associate
at Texas A&M University,
working in assocation with the Department of Geology and Geophysics,
will be offering summer research opportunities
to interested students and professionals for the summer of 2012.
Our CRASL projects
offer an opportunity to tie these ancient settings to scientific
activities. For Summer 2012 take a look at our CRASL Dazzle Combo Tour for students and young professionals, combining
real archaeological dig experience with touring.
Some of our goals to be begun next summer and in the coming years are:
- Topographical surveying of various sites where we superimpose the geophysical data acquired onto a GIS map.
- GPR near-surface studies allowing for non-invasive intelligence of
various sites as outlined in our projects.
- Comparative analysis of a suite of remote sensing techniques to
assist in site investigation at Tell es-Safi/Gath and the surrounding area.
- As the summer approaches, we will have the opportunity to become integrated into the Jerusalem Municipality's future planning needs, including the creation of an Underground Heritage Trail which will be frequented by tourists into the 21st century.
Summer 2011 saw us both in northern Israel, concentrating on
Legio, near the Plains of Megiddo,
and south into the Negev at Summeily,
at the ancient site of Tel-Hesi.
We'll post reports as they are available. Always moving on, always
something new! Lots of people to meet, and mysteries to uncover.
