Reputation is important in this trade and one question we are asked often is, how do they determine age of each artifact?

The holy land has a unique history and professional diggers of artifacts dig and can tell what level relates to the time by texture and colour of the soil as well as by identification knowledge of the Artifact.

Roman artefacts and local holy land items are at a different level to crusaders and Arabs who did control vast areas and it is rare to find sites of Arab and Crusader Artifacts in same place
