IF YOU CAN'T BE AN "ACTUAL HUQOQ DIGGER" ON-SITE,
HERE'S WHY AND HOW YOU CAN BECOME A "VIRTUAL HUQOQ DIGGER" FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
THE DIG HUQOQ PROJECT has great potential for shedding light on the world of Jesus, the beginnings of early Christianity, and the emergence of rabbinic Judaism.
FROM A DISTANCE YOU CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE, EASILY AND SIMPLY, AND FEEL GREAT ABOUT HAVING HELPED DISCOVER THIS EXCITING HISTORY.
Some of the basic excavation expenses include excavation equipment, laboratory analyses and treatment of finds, conservation work at the site, and airfare and room and board for U.S. staff, room and board and salaries for Israeli staff. Tools and supplies of various types are required for an excavation, including picks and shovels, wheelbarrows, trowels, and survey equipment..
Undergraduate and graduate students are key to the success of the Huqoq dig. All students are required to pay for their room and board on the dig and round-trip airfare to Israel, and undergraduates must also pay tuition fees to UNC-Chapel Hill. The average cost per student is $5,000. Contributions to underwrite as much or as little as is comfortable for the donor to give are appreciated and help support student participation.
DONORS MAY STIPULATE how they would like their contributions to support the work at Huqoq. Contributions are tax-deductible charitable giving; check with your tax advisor about any questions.
