Post-Oct 7, archaeologists' CSI skills gave families closure. An exhibit reveals how

The exhibition 'Rising from the Ashes: Archaeology in a National Crisis' at the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein National Campus in Jerusalem reveals the vital role archaeologists played after the October 7 attacks in southern Israel. Experts from the Israel Antiquities Authority used their skills to identify victims' remains and recover personal belongings, bringing closure to grieving families. The multimedia installation features stories of individuals identified through meticulous work, including Shani Gabay, whose fate was confirmed thanks to a necklace found among the ruins. The exhibition also highlights the emotional toll on archaeologists, their outreach to evacuees, and the preservation of evidence through photographs, footage, and 3D models. Project leaders emphasize the importance of documenting the destruction as both a research tool and a lasting testimony for future generations.
