Summary

Winner of the Biblical Archaeology Society’s Award for best popular book published in archaeology.

On a cold, cloudy day in early February 1985, Shelley Wachsmann, then resident nautical archaeologist for the Israel Department of Antiquities and Museums, drove to Kibbutz Ginosar, an agricultural settlement near the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Two brothers, avid amateur archaeologists, had found a boat buried in the lake, its outlines revealed by receding lake waters. The boat was "possibly ancient," according to the handwritten note placed on Wachsmann's desk a day or two before. So begins the fascinating story of The Sea of Galilee Boat, as Wachsmann narrates the intriguing discovery and painstaking excavation of the very first biblical-era boat ever found in the Sea of Galilee.

The book is published by Texas A&M University Press. The audiobook will be published by University Press Audiobooks.

"An excellent model for archaeological reporting that bridges the gap between research and the lay reader." (The Biblical Archaeologist)

"Wachsmann's pleasure in his work is evident and well conveyed by his personal reflections." (American Journal of Archaeology)

"A pleasure to read; it is good science, and it is just plain fun." (Biblical Archaeology Review)
