The inscriptions will be studied by a team of researches consisting of Dr. Motti Aviam, Aharoni Amitai and the historian Dr. Jacob Ashkenazi of the Kinneret Institute for Galilean Archaeology and Miki Peleg, the Lower Galilee District Archaeologist of the Israel Antiquities Authority.

This joint effort is also likely to lead to new discoveries soon, the researchers said.

Upon completion of their research the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Kinneret Academic College have said they will present the inscriptions to the general public.
