Binyamin Har-Even is Israel's Chief Staff Officer for Archaeology in Judea and Samaria. He has spent his career protecting and excavating the biblical sites of this region — Shiloh among them. He describes archaeology as "the physical expression of history," a bridge connecting a people to the ground beneath their feet.
He named his son Shiloh.
Major Shiloh Har-Even, commander of a Golani Brigade company, fought at the Nahal Oz outpost on October 7, 2023. Wounded, he held his sector for hours against wave after wave of attackers, saving many lives before he fell. He was recommended for Israel's Medal of Valor.
His father continues the work. The fragments offered here were recovered from excavations at Tel Shiloh conducted under the authority of the unit Har-Even leads. The ground his son bore as a name is the same ground from which these pieces were drawn.

For three centuries before Jerusalem, Shiloh was the center of Israel's worship, the hill where the Tabernacle stood and the Ark of the Covenant rested. The pottery its people left behind is finite: every piece must be excavated, classified, and documented before it can leave Israel, and very little of it ever reaches us.
Every piece arrives with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by Benjamin Har-Even, Director of Archaeology in Judea and Samaria.
