Dig at official IAA excavation sites across Israel at no cost, one of the most accessible archaeological volunteer programs in the country. Volunteers use picks, shovels, and hand trowels from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM, Sunday through Thursday, uncovering ancient artifacts under professional supervision. Sites span Biblical, Roman, and Byzantine periods. Volunteers must be physically fit and provide their own food, water, and transport.
