Modeling the NIP
Jackie Wiebold, volunteer from last summer, has been working on a 3D model of the Northeast Insula Project. Here is an early glimpse at what promises to be an interesting and helpful view of our work.
Research on Inscriptions
There are several parallels for the mosaic inscriptions from the House of Tyche.
The garden inscription has parallels at Tell el-Farama and Shiqmona near Haifa (with the same misspelling).
The inscription from the entrance hall has parallels at Pompeiopolis and Krokodeilon Polis near Caesarea (SEG 56 (2006): 1891).

Seeking volunteers
Plans are beginning for the 2012 Season. We will be excavating Building Beta in the western zone, and we will be exposing another section of the House of Tyche.
