The excavation site spans 2,000 square meters and contains six distinct layers of occupation, located 11 kilometers south of Lake Tiberias.

Archaeologist Jean Perrot first excavated the site in 1962, uncovering deposits from Pre-Pottery Neolithic B through Chalcolithic periods dating between 7210 and 5420 BC.

The buildings feature stone foundations, mud brick walls, and plastered floors, with distinctive architectural elements including a circular courtyard for craft activities.

The site sits on a terrace 215 meters below sea level, near the outlet of Nahal Tavor, requiring careful navigation through rural terrain.

Recovered artifacts include specialized flint arrowheads with barbed tangs and pointed shoulders, alongside stone vessels and clay figures representing humans and animals.
