The Associates for Biblical Research has begun its 2018 excavation season at biblical Shiloh. With over 140 volunteers and staff registered, it's the biggest ABR dig to date. This season ABR continues to be on the cutting edge of technological advances in the archaeological field, with a new, state-of-the-art wet-sifting station, fully digital iPad reporting, and 3-D photos of excavation squares. Teams of volunteers led by ABR's archaeologists opened or continued working in eleven squares during Week 1 and uncovered portions of the Middle Bronze fortification wall of the Amorite city. 81 objects were discovered and registered, including 22 coins, 5 sling stones, 2 beads and 1 seal. ABR will continue excavations through June 16, 2018 in order to learn more about the history of the site, and in particular to search for evidence of Israelite occupation and clues as to the location of the tabernacle. The Bible records that Shiloh was the center of Israelite worship for at least 300 years, and home to both Eli and Samuel.
