The site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising. It can keep only two things in this browser: your decision here, so that you are not asked again, and, if you allow it, your reading adjustments (text size, contrast, spacing, underlined links and reduced motion) for your next visit.
Without this, adjustments apply to the current page only and reset when you move to another page. No name, identifier, timestamp or page list is stored, and nothing is sent to the server.
The decision itself is always stored, as one key in the browser’s local storage (atiqot.consent.v1), even when you choose not to save adjustments. You can change it at any time in the reading and privacy tools or through the link at the bottom of every page. Operational cookies of the hosting or security provider are outside the site’s control.
The Kabri salvage excavation: fortifications and settlement
Dina Shalem reports architectural remains and pottery assemblages from a salvage excavation at Tel Kabri in the western Galilee.
This record provides bibliographic details and independent reading notes. The full study was written by the authors listed in the publication details; the link leads to its source.
Walls, buildings and material from several periods
The excavation exposed part of a Middle Bronze II fortification system and Early and Middle Bronze architectural remains. Pottery also represents other periods, including the Early Chalcolithic and Iron II. 1.
Distinguish a structure’s date from the range of periods represented by sherds. A limited excavation can identify part of a large system without exposing its full extent. Check which wall relationships were observed directly and which are proposed in reconstruction.
The Bronze Age page and layers guide clarify the difference between an architectural phase and a find assemblage. Consult the original study for excavation plans and the pottery analysis.
