Wood figure found in an excavationObjects made of wood are rarely found in archaeological excavations, since wood is an organic material that decomposes. At times, remnants of objects made of wood have been found at sites. This exhibition features finds that were discovered in dry areas of Israel, such as Ein-Gedi and other areas of the Negev. It also displays traditional objects made from wood in this region, including various types of joints, carpenters' tools, locks, plates, combs, cosmetics containers, coffins, and reconstructed furniture.
