The team is implementing an approach that incorporates excavation, survey, conservation and community outreach to explore Akkos rich past and present.
Artzy has spent the past two decades pioneering work in coastal and underwater archaeology, particularly along the Carmel coast. Among the sites she has explored are Tel Nami, Tell abu Hawam, the oldest harbor of Haifa in the Qishon outlet, the Phoenician harbor of Athlete, and recently the renewed excavations at Tel Akko and the coast and sear near Caesarea.
