INDEX of Sites

This is a larger site than just the synagogue, so make sure to focus on more than the Synagogue. Remember to provide "the historical background of the site (including history of previous archaeological excavations, if any), objectives of the current excavation, progress at the site, and significance of discoveries to biblical study." Make sure to choose a good encyclopedia, journal articles, and books that specialize in the subject.
