| Summary: | Excavations are beginning to unearth a singularly impressive series of superimposed fortress buildings near one of the most abundant springs in the Arabah Valley of Israel.

Located strategically at the intersection of routes, ˓En Ḥaṣeva began its life as a royal outpost so significant that it may even have left a memory of its name. |
