Description

This compelling account documents a transformative archaeological expedition at Tell Deir Alla in Jordan, where between 1960 and 1967, excavator Henk Franken and his team uncovered historical discoveries that rewrote understanding of the region. Despite the tell's absence from biblical records and initial expectations of minimal finds, the expedition team persevered through harsh conditions - enduring cold, rain and stormy winds whilst working extended days on site and in camp - to reveal the secrets buried beneath the rubble. The team's dedication and methodical excavation work at this unremarkable Jordanian tell ultimately proved extraordinary, yielding insights that challenged existing archaeological knowledge and demonstrated the potential for significant historical discovery in unexpected locations. This detailed account captures both the challenges of fieldwork and the remarkable findings that emerged from years of dedicated excavation and research.

Key Features

The excavations at Tell Deir Alla ran from 1960 to 1967, documenting a decade of continuous archaeological work across multiple seasons in Jordan.

Henk Franken led the expedition team through demanding conditions including cold, rain and stormy winds to uncover artefacts and structures beneath the tell.

The Tell Deir Alla dig produced historical discoveries despite the site's name not appearing in biblical records and initial assumptions of limited archaeological importance.

The expedition team worked extended days on the tell and in camp, combining on-site excavation with analysis and documentation of findings.

This account details how an unremarkable Jordanian tell yielded extraordinary historical secrets that contributed significantly to regional archaeological understanding.
