Women's Club English Lecture Series
The longest-running archaeology course in the world. That's how the Tuesday morning English-language archaeology lectures have been referred to. For over 45 years, Tel Aviv University, Institute and Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Cultures have been offering a course in the Archaeology of Israel to a mixed group of diplomats' wives, members of the International Women's Club and local men and women who wish to listen to lectures in English. Initiated in the mid-1960s when a group of diplomats' wives approached Itzhaq Beit-Arieh, who agreed to organize the series, it subsequently developed a life of its own. And now, some 120 people register each semester and arrive at the doors of the Gilman Building each Tuesday morning at 9:00 to listen to lectures by the very best of the local archaeological community, as well as visiting scholars and archaeologists who regularly share their vast knowledge and experience with members of the group. The series parallels the academic year and in addition to the lectures there are regular field trips to numerous places throughout the country. Each semester has a theme, the most recent have been: Prehistory of Israel The Archaeology of Jerusalem and Its Environs Archaeology - Across the Boundaries of Time and Place Seafaring, Maritime Trade and Ancient Cultures in the Mediterranean Sea Biblical Archaeology - Jerusalem and Judea Biblical Archaeology - Israel and the North The Jordan Valley Northern Israel Southern Israel The Coastal Plain Recent Discoveries in the Archaeology of Israel Jerusalem Perspectives: Jewish, Christian, Muslim Archaeology of Tel Aviv and Its vicinity Registration takes place during the first two Tuesdays of each academic semester For details, contact: Sara Lev Shachar at 03-6409417 or Heeli Schechter at heelinka@gmail.com We look forward to seeing you at our lectures! 2012 Spring Semester: Peoples of the Ancient Near East
