.The Land of Israel has more archaeology of multiple historical periods per square meter than any place on earth. Yet, only a fraction has been dug. As we move into the 21st century, new high-tech techniques are being combined with the traditional science of archaeology to reveal a far more profound picture of the formative periods of the 12th, 11th, and 10th centuries, and a growing confirmation of the Biblical narrative. Foundation Stone links archaeological sites to local communities, to tourist and educational tracks so that visitors to the country will be inspired by the deep roots of the Jewish people in the land of Israel. We interview Prof. Aren Maeir, excavator of Gath, and Dr David Adams, excavating with Prof Garfinkel at Elah Fortress - Khirbet Qeiyafa in Judah.
