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:
“Many divorces are not really the result of irreparable injury but involve, instead, a desire on the part of the man or woman to shatter the setup, start out from scratch alone, and make life work for them all over again. They want the risk of disaster, want to touch bottom, see where bottom is, and, coming up, to breathe the air with relief and relish again.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
