Tel Anafa, Archaeological site and hill in Upper Galilee, Israel.

The excavation site spans 11 dunams at the base of the Golan Heights, near the borders of Lebanon and Syria.

Archaeological teams uncovered a Hellenistic settlement dating from 150-75 BCE, when the area functioned as an estate for citizens of Tyre.

The excavated palatial villa contains Greek-style decorations, numerous glass vessels, and evidence of Graeco-Phoenician cultural integration.

Research teams from the Kelsey Museum and University of Missouri Museum conducted ten seasons of excavations at the location.

The site contains Italian cooking implements from 100-80 BCE, marking early trade connections between Italy and the Levant before Roman rule.
