Excavation and REsearch
what has been done? Archaelogical research on Har Karkom started in 1980 has been being conducted for over twenty five years. Around 200 square kilometers of land have been surveyed and today there are around 1300 sites found within that surveyed land.
There was originally no connection made between Har Karkom and Mount Sinai when research began but, four years into fieldwork there were finds that connected Har Karkom with Mount Sinai. Those finds were what lead to the ongoing research there. |
difficultiesHar Karkom is located on a military base and can only be acesses when soldiers are on furlow, the only time this happens is during the week of Passover. With only being able to conduct research one week out of the year conducting research becomes a difficult and lengthy process.
