A survey of archeological discovery in Israel, ranging from prehistoric finds in the Judean caves to revelations of Jewish life in Palestine after the Roman conquest, was presented here by Prof. Nahman Avigad, head of the Department of Archeology of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Prof. Avigad, who is currently a visiting professor at Harvard University, spoke to an overflow meeting of over 600 at the Savoy Hilton Hotel under the auspices of the American Friends of the Hebrew University. The event marked the launching of a greatly expanded program in behalf of the Hebrew University in the New York area. A detailed program of activities will be presented at the two-day National Leadership Conference of the American Friends of the Hebrew University which will open at the Sheraton-East Hotel in New York on May 23.
