Research

The goal of the co-directors of the Fourth Expedition of Lachish is to produce timely preliminary reports and final reports of the excavation based on the pattern established at Khirbet Qeiyafa. Individual articles are assigned to various experts in the field by the directors. The volume is then edited and produced for camera-ready copy at Southern Adventist University. Subsequently it is printed and distributed through the Israel Exploration Society in Jerusalem.
