Day #3

This morning, once again, we loaded up on the bus and headed for the anchient Roman city of Bet Shean. We spent a good part of the morning there, and during this time we got to explore the ruins. Interestingly enough there was still a good bit of the architecture there, including a public bathroom, and part of what I would assume to be a church, as there was still a standing baptismal bath.

After spending the morning in Bet Shean we leaded up and headed for an active archeological site where we were taken on a tour of some excavated caves in which people had previously used to both live in, and store belongings. When that was complete, we were given the chance to participate on excavating an old limestone mine, which the areas historic residents used for both storage and trash disposal. This part was expecially fun because a good number of use uncovered small artifacts. The most interesting one being a double-sided oil lamp which those running the site found interesting as no one had uncovered anything similar to that at that before.
