Thanks for your comment. (Todah Ravah).

My work in the Kinneret was land based digging at the jewish port-town of Migdal.

Here is a link to the site:

http://www.magdala.org/contact/

They take on voluntaries to dig all year round.

There is a great archaeologist working there from the Israel Antiquities Authority called Arfan Najjar.

If you decide to join tell them I sent you, and let me how it goes!

As far as I know this a an article on the submerged forest (it’s in Hebrew) that you mention

http://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/23380061.pdf?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

I haven’t seen it personally as there is no diving centres in the Kinneret and I think you might need a special permit from the army to do it. Better find out before you dip into the lake.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any immediate plans to go back to Israel but I sincerely would love to. It is an amazing place.

Hope this is on any help.

Let me know if I can help on anything else

Cheers

Rodrigo

Very impressive cv you got there! Can you send me some information on the dig you did in Migdal? I haven’t dived in the Kineret yet but I did hear some talk about a petrified forest somewhere in the Kineret. Parhaps you know something about it? Will you be back here in Israel sometime soon?
Take care and keep up the good work!

Hope we can meet as colleagues someday soon. :)
