דגניים בתקופת הברזל, Archaeological site of Iron Age cereals in Eastern Negev, Israel
Iron Age Cereals is an archaeological site in the Eastern Negev with remains of grain storage facilities, pottery vessels, and tools from the Iron Age. The preserved granaries and threshing floors show advanced techniques for processing and storing grain.
The settlement emerged between the 12th and 6th centuries BCE as a center for advanced farming practices. The inhabitants established trade connections with neighboring Phoenician communities and benefited from active exchange with other regions.
The pottery fragments found here reveal how people managed grain storage and organized their daily routines. The inscriptions on vessels show information about social organization and economic relationships among the ancient inhabitants.
The site is openly accessible and allows you to examine the storage structures up close. It helps to wear comfortable shoes and bring water, since the area is dry and exposed to the sun.
Carbonized grain deposits discovered here preserve traces of meals and eating habits from this distant era. These remains allow researchers to reconstruct exactly what people ate and how they managed their food supplies.
