On October 4, 2018, Jodi Magness visited Oxford to give a lecture on the excavations at the Huqoq synagogue in the Galilee region.
Each summer since 2012, there has been lots of media coverage, particularly from National Geographic and Biblical Archaeology Review, of the wonderful mosaics that have been uncovered there.
I have posted a summary of the lecture at the Grace & Knowledge website.

In the August/September 2018 Cartoon Caption Contest in the Biblical Archaeology Review, I made the online Honorable Mention List for the 10th time.
The cartoon showed Samson wielding the jawbone of an ass, while a donkey looking on and presumably saying something. I have the donkey saying, "To unleash the full power of the jawbone, Samson, shout ‘Hee Haw!’ as you swing it."
