This seven-year long project was carried out by Prof. Joseph Patrich and Leah Di Segni and their team on behalf of the Institute of Archaeology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. It started in October 2014, with funding from the Israel Science Foundation (ISF, grants nos. 1873/2014 and 2075/2018). At present the database is undergoing the final stages of proofreading. When completed, the database will be fully open to the public via the internet.
