Netzer, best known for discovering the tomb of King Herod, died Thursday Oct. 28, 2010 after suffering a fall at the site this week. He was 76. Netzer led numerous high-profile digs over decades of work in a country where the ancient past plays a central part in national life and archaeologists have become leading public figures.
