Tel Ḥaẓor – 2018

The 2018 excavation at Tel Hazor, led by A. Ben-Tor and S. Bechar, uncovered significant archaeological insights into the site's layered history, spanning multiple periods of human occupation. The expedition, involving over 70 international participants, employed advanced surveying, conservation, and documentation techniques to explore Area M3, supervised by S. Greenberg in Area M4. Key findings included the identification of well-preserved structures and artifacts dating back to the Bronze Age, contributing to our understanding of ancient urban development and trade networks in the region. The excavation, supported by multiple institutions including the Selz Foundation and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, was conducted in collaboration with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, ensuring adherence to modern conservation standards.
