Tall al-Ajjul, Archaeological site and Bronze Age settlement in Gaza Strip, Palestine
The fortified site of Tall al-Ajjul spans across multiple levels, featuring ancient residential areas, defensive structures, and palace foundations from different time periods.
British archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie led excavations between 1930 and 1934, discovering numerous artifacts including gold jewelry and scarab seals from Egyptian pharaohs.
The architectural remains and artifacts found at Tall al-Ajjul demonstrate strong connections between ancient Egyptian and Levantine civilizations during the Bronze Age period.
The archaeological site requires advance permissions for visits, and local guides from Gaza City provide detailed tours explaining the historical significance of different sections.
The location contains substantial quantities of pumice linked to the Santorini volcanic eruption, providing crucial data for dating events in Mediterranean Bronze Age chronology.
