Description
Summary:Almost a decade of intensive excavations by the Kinneret Regional Project has turned Tel Kinrot into one of the major sites for the study of urban life in the southern Levant during the Early Iron Age. Its urban layout, accessibility by major trade routes, and strategic location between different spheres of cultural and political influence make Tel Kinrot an ideal place for studying the interaction of various regional cultures, as well as to approach questions of ethnicity and regionalism during one of the most debated periods in the history of the ancient Levant.
