The excavations, on behalf of the Zinman Institute of Archaeology, the University of Haifa and the Eurasia Department at the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin, were directed by D. Rosenberg (field photography) and F. Klimscha, and funded by the Israel Science Foundation, the CARE Foundation and the Rust Family Foundation. The fieldwork involved the participation of students and volunteers from Israel and abroad.
