Professor James Phillips (Univ. of Illinois-Chicago)
led a tour to several hominid sites in the Carmel Mountain region of Israel.
These included the excavations at Kefar HaHoresh (Neolithic site under
the direction of Dr. Nigel Goren - Hebrew University), El Wad, Tabun, and
Skhul caves. Students received an appreciation for the temporal depth
of the region, as well as an important overview of the changing topography
of the area. Click on highlighted images
