Archaeology

As the primary sponsor of one of the largest projects in the Middle East, La Sierra University is very active in archaeology in Jordan. A number of La Sierra students participate each dig season. La Sierra also has a large collection of Biblical-era artifacts, including cooking pots, lamps, jewelry, figurines, and other pieces.
