Temple Mount Sifting Project

The Temple Mount Sifting Project is the first archaeological sifting of artifacts from the Temple Mount in History. Objects from the First Temple and Second Temple are being uncovered. You have the chance to participate in this unique, archaeological project of sifting this soil, dumped unceremoniously outside the Temple Mount walls by the Jordanian Moslem Waqf. The Temple Mount Sifting Project is as close as you can ever come to excavating the Temple Mount itself.

Recent Finds

Just recently a rare 3,000 year-old seal dating to the period of the Biblical kings David and Solomon of the 10th century BCE was recently discovered at the Temple Mount Sifting Project in Jerusalem.
