The first site, http://www.tau.ac.il/humanities/archaeology/megiddo/index.html, presents a great deal of information in numerous pages. Just about every page has links to more information, from photos of the past projects to books, newsletters, and staff members' bios. It presents the information in an organized fashion, but some of it seems a bit condensed for the site, such as the history page, which is quite brief considering the age and importance of the dig site.

There is scrolling "breaking news," the menu bar on the left moves as you move down the page, and there is fading in and out text about the 2008 dig...
