Let’s go fly a kite

Eden Orion of The University of Haifa has a great hobby! In his spare time he likes to do aerial photography from a kite. He flew his kite over Tel Akko after the shade cloths were removed, and the resultant pictures were very interesting. What do you think?

One Thousand Days and Nights – Akko through the Ages

There is so much more to Tel Akko than this one season that I and others have been writing about on this blog. The tel has been excavated since the seventies, and many wonderful discoveries have been made over the years. If you’d like to read more, go to this page and have a look through the document called “One Thousand Days and Nights – Akko through the Ages”. It is the catalogue for an exhibition held at the Hecht Museum edited by Ann E Killebrew and Bered Raz-Remeo, and includes information about the Crusader town of Acre as well as the lengthy and varied history of Akko and its mysterious tel.

I’m a North American shovel bum who can’t stay away from Akko. I’ve been coming here since 2013! I’ve done archaeological field work in 6 states and 3 countries. I collect data from the air, on land and at sea. I can be found in the Blue Area, in the Flex room, at Argaman Beach or at Kurkushka.
