Canadians lead Israeli archeological dig of early cities
Lisa Burnett, right, is one of several University of Manitoba students taking part in an archeological dig of Bronze Age settlements near Tel Aviv, Israel
There are no high rises. Certainly no condos. But students from Manitoba are in Israel this month exploring some of the earliest cities on Earth.
Working on their hands and knees, they use picks, trowels and brooms to clear away the dirt at an archaeological site located at Tell es-Safi, south of the main highway connecting Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
