The Tel Azekah Excavation team is built on an international mix of archaeologists, historians, scholars, scientists, students and volunteers, who travel from across the globe every year to join us in the field.

The excavation is lead by our directors, Prof. Oded Lipschits of Tel Aviv University, and Prof. Manfred Oeming of Heidelberg University. Joining our directors is also Dr. Sabine Kleiman of Tübingen University.
