Since 1984, Galili has directed the Atlit-Yam Excavation Project and investigation of the submerged Neolithic settlements off the Carmel coast on behalf of Haifa University (1983–1989) and the Israel Antiquities Authority (1990–2004), work which continues (since 2024) under the auspices of the University of Haifa.  Liora Kolska Horwitz is a prehistorian affiliated with the National Natural History Collections of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, having completed her Ph.D. at Tel Aviv University.
