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.

“You must work and do good, not be lazy and gamble, if you wish to earn happiness. Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.... I can’t understand people who don’t like work ...”
