h/t @JCST_SHU, and @ShammaBoyarin for bringing this story to my attention over the weekend https://twitter.com/ShammaBoyarin/status/1281942124255039488
Note that the article ends with a link to the fundraising campaign.

Also note one aspect of the story singled out here is that the two archaeologists directing the salvage dig are Arabs.
One aspect *not* highlighted in the piece: what heritage ends up being preserved and what does not, and why https://twitter.com/MichaelDPress/status/1086645865274589191
Also, for those interested in Roman-period stepped pools & whether we can even identify them as mikva'ot, please see the further comments on this thread.
