Dig for a Day takes place in the Beit Guvrin-Maresha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located about an hour’s drive from either Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. The park encompasses the ruins of Maresha, a key Judean town in the First Temple period, and Bet Guvrin, an important town during the Roman era. Various archaeological digs at the site have unearthed a large Jewish cemetery, a Roman-Byzantine amphitheater, a Byzantine church, public baths, mosaics, and burial caves, as well as a wealth of archeological artifacts from various periods.
