Dr. Joe Uziel
Dr. Joe Uziel is the head of the Dead Sea Scrolls Unit at the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). After receiving his PhD from Bar-Ilan University in 2008, he has worked for the IAA, excavating several areas in the City of David and the Western Wall Tunnels, uncovering a range of finds from the Middle Bronze Age through to the Mamluk period. Uziel’s research has produced many studies on the archaeology of Jerusalem, particularly relating to the Bronze and Iron Ages and the Roman period. In January 2020, Joe was named the head of the IAA’s Dead Sea Scroll Unit, which is dedicated to the holistic care of the Dead Sea Scrolls, including their conservation, curation, documentation, and research.
