Fieldwork includes archaeological excavation and survey in key sites scattered all over Israel from prehistoric, biblical and classical periods.

Recent seasons of excavations have been focused on the site's Byzantine and Crusader-period remains, within the medieval town and in the Crusader castle, whose destruction is dated to March-April 1265, never to be properly resettled ever since.

The fieldwork started in 2013 and focuses on an Iron Age compound linked to the Assyrians, and a unique Byzantine church with early evidence of Georgian presence in the Holy Land.

Started in 2010, the expedition is directed by and Oded Lipschits, Manfred Oeming (Heidelberg University) and Sabine Kleiman[46][47][48] Tel Hadid is located east of Lod in central Israel.

The fieldwork, directed by Ido Koch and James Parker (NOBTS), began in 2018 and includes a survey and excavation at the site.

[49][50] The renewed Givati Parking Lot excavation is a joint project between Tel Aviv and the Israel Antiquities Authority, started in 2017 and directed by Yuval Gadot and Yiftah Shalev (IAA).

It focuses on the study of Tell Iẓṭabba in Seleucid period, at the time known as "Nysa", and its relation to the later Roman settlement which formed part of the Decapolis.

The project is directed by Oren Tal since 2019, and deals with the urban layout, infrastructure, water management and other aspects of the site.

Directed by Israel Finkelstein,Matthew J. Adams, and Mario A.S. Martin since 1994, the goals of the renewed excavations are to re-examine Tel Megiddo's stratigraphy and chronology as well as the development of new research methods such as Ancient DNA, geoarchaeology, scientific dating etc.

It is situated on Tel Qedesh and its study directed since 2021 by Raphael Greenberg and Gideon Sulimani is a collaboration with Hebrew University excavations there.

While the journal features articles dealing with periods ranging from prehistory to Late Antiquity, its primary focus is on the Bronze and Iron Ages.
