For fifteen years, Concordia University has been most pleased to partner with the Zinman Institute of Archaeology at the University of Haifa on the Hippos Excavations. I am most thankful for the colleagues from Haifa, during the first eleven years with Prof. Arthur Segal and his associate, Michael Eisenberg, and more recently with Dr. Eisenberg and his team, including Arleta and Nofar.

 

These folks from Haifa have been most gracious and supportive, and demonstrate what is possible when institutions cooperate internationally.

I am proud to be part of this project and will miss very much interactions in the field with these colleagues.
