They comprise the present Arab village of Ilesbdn, which provided most of the workmen of Andrews Univer- sity's Heshbon expedition. History of the Heshbon Expedition Early in 1966 an offer came to An- drews University to finance three seasons of excavations at a Biblical site. I was at that time entrusted with organizing and directing the expedition. After careful delibera- tions and a survey of prospective Biblical sites in Palestine west and east of the Jordan River, Heshbon was chosen as the site to be exca- vated. The teasons for choosing Heshbon were that (I) it had been an important Biblical city whose site had never been touched by the pick and hoe of an archeologist; (2) a new hardtop road had made the site accessible; (3) it was close to the capital city of Amman (which was 15 miles to the southwest); (4) '411i the mound was government-owned, The mound of Heshbon as viewed from the southeast.

The first season of excavations was then planned for the summer of 1967. The cooperation of the American Schools of Oriental Re- search was obtained, and a number of professional archeologists with whom I had worked at other sites were willing to join the Heshbon staff. Also volunteer photographers and surveyor-architects, an an- thropologist, and other experts were obtained. Many applications of graduate students, ministers, teachers, and others were received. Thus a staff of about forty members, consisting of profes- sionals and learners, was secured for the 1967 expedition. The govern- ment of Jordan issued an excava- tion permit on my request.
