2010 IS FINISHED - VERY COOL FINDS... STAY TUNED FOR 2011 - YOU CAN VOLUNTEER!

Welcome to the Tel Yavne website. Foundation Stone has been working hard to fulfill its mandate from the Israel Antiquities Authority: to develop an educational and tourist site at Tel Yavne based on archaeology.

So - we're getting our hands dirty at Tel Yavne once again. Yesterday had the Lieberman family from Efrat, 17 educators from Beis Yaacov - and believe it or not - Moshik Yavneh - who somehow, someway, heard that the excavation was going on; I guest being a pensioner doesn't mean you're afraid of a hard days work!
