Dor Wolynitz was not on an archaeological dig. He was just a kid on a weekend trip with his dad, collecting rocks that looked interesting. However, the striped stone he pocketed at Israel’s Ramon Crater on May 11 turned out to be a 1,700-year-old statuette fragment. A small, expertly carved piece of a figure draped in flowing robes, most likely a Roman or Nabataean deity, and with that, an eight-year-old from Rehovot walked into history.
