【Close-up Exhibition】Excavations at Tel Rekhesh, Israel
4 Februar, 2023 - 26 March, 2023 【Close-up Exhibition】 Excavations at Tel Rekhesh, Israel
Since 2006, a Japanese expedition has been conducting excavations at the site of Tel Rekhesh (Arabic name: Tell el Mukharkhash) in northern Israel. In 2013, a small exhibition was held at the Ancient Orient Museum to introduce these excavations to the public.
In the current exhibition, newly obtained results revealed in the second phase of the excavations (2013-2017) are introduced via posters, models, and videos. These exhibits focus on the large buildings of the Late Iron Age (8th to 6th cent. BC), and the discovery of the earliest synagogue (Jewish assembly house), which is dated to the early Roman period (1st to 2nd cent. AD). These structures are important in the study of the religious history of Judaism and early Christianity.
