A message from the Sifting Project

ON THE BLOG: AN IMPORTANT LETTER FROM THE TEMPLE MOUNT SIFTING PROJECT. The letter gives an update on the eighteen years of the project now completed. It is also a plea for funding, which is short in these lean times. If you are minded to contribute, there is a link.

There is also another new post: FIND AND FINDER OF THE MONTH: ROBERT KOLB FOUND A SPINDLE WHORL WITH A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER. To be clear, the late Roman or Byzantine-era spindle whorl is not inscribed with a number. But it has been assigned an important number in the Sifting Project's registry.
