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.
