Archaeological Work
Stager's most important archaeological work has been conducted through the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon, of which he has been the director since 1985. This expedition is one of the largest and lengthiest projects in Israel. The results of the dig have been published in the Harvard Semitic Museum and Eisenbrauns' Ashkelon, a series of ten volumes, the third of which was published in 2011.
Prior to his monumental undertakings at Ashkelon, Stager had worked on digs at Carthage, Idalion, Gezer, and Tell el-Hesi. Stager has generally adhered to the traditional scholarly dating of the "United Monarchy" of King David and Solomon.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“He will not idly dance at his work who has wood to cut and cord before nightfall in the short days of winter; but every stroke will be husbanded, and ring soberly through the wood; and so will the strokes of that scholar’s pen, which at evening record the story of the day, ring soberly, yet cheerily, on the ear of the reader, long after the echoes of his axe have died away.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
