The 2027 Season
The forthcoming excavation season at En-Gedi, scheduled for the 2027 winter, will focus on the continued investigation of remains dating to the late Iron Age and Persian period at Tel Goren. Excavations will target multiple areas across the mound, aiming to identify and characterize the human groups and economic activities that shaped En-Gedi during these periods.
