Description
Summary:Tel Rekhesh, a site identified as the Canaanite Anaharath, has been excavated since 2006. The primary results of the first four seasons of excavations enable the reconstruction of a flourishing Iron I settlement that covered the entire area of the site—the upper mound as well as its lower terrace. The Iron I architecture includes public buildings, installations and what appears to be cultic finds. It was preceded by LB, MB IIB and EB II--III settlements, detected in various excavated areas. The next season will focus on some questions that arose during the first four seasons.
