Abstract

ABSTRACT The excavations at the Church of the Glorious Martyr, located in central Israel, were an extraordinary archaeological project undertaken by the Israeli Antiquities Authority. Beginning in 2017, three excavations seasons took place at the site and the vast majority of the excavators were groups of young adults. The motivation to involve teenagers as the excavation's main workforce was part of a larger nationwide Israeli initiative known as Hanchala (Hebrew for endowment). The movement was developed to increase public awareness, involvement and access to archaeology. During the Church of the Glorious Martyr excavation project, thousands of high-school and post graduate students were employed and more importantly exposed to archaeology. The culmination of the project led to a museum exhibition dedicated to the site that reached the public well beyond the field. This paper will discuss the field setup, logistics, problems and ad hoc solutions implemented for community involvement at the site.

以色列青少年和他们的拜占庭教堂：光荣烈士教堂的社区考古

摘要位于以色列中部的光荣烈士教堂的发掘是以色列文物局进行的一项非同寻常的考古项目。从2017年开始，该遗址进行了三个挖掘季节，绝大多数挖掘者都是年轻人。让青少年参与挖掘的主要劳动力是以色列一项更大规模的全国性倡议Hanchala（希伯来语中的捐赠）的一部分。该运动旨在提高公众对考古的认识、参与和了解。在光荣烈士教堂发掘项目中，数千名高中生和研究生被雇佣，更重要的是接触了考古学。该项目的高潮导致了一场专门针对该遗址的博物馆展览，该展览吸引了远远超出现场的公众。本文将讨论现场设置、后勤、问题和为社区参与现场实施的临时解决方案。

期刊介绍： Journal of Community Archaeology & Heritage is a new journal intended for participants, volunteers, practitioners, and academics involved in the many projects and practices broadly defined as ‘community archaeology’. This is intended to include the excavation, management, stewardship or presentation of archaeological and heritage resources that include major elements of community participation, collaboration, or outreach. The journal recognises the growing interest in voluntary activism in archaeological research and interpretation, and seeks to create a platform for discussion about the efficacy and importance of such work as well as a showcase for the dissemination of community archaeology projects (which might offer models of best practice for others). By inviting papers relating to theory and practice from across the world, the journal seeks to demonstrate both the diversity of community archaeology and its commonalities in process and associated theory. We seek contributions from members of the voluntary sector as well as those involved in archaeological practice and academia.
