Dothan, Archaeological site near Jenin, Palestine

The archaeological mound of Tel Dothan covers 12 hectares of land and rises 306 meters above ground in northern Palestine.

Excavations at Tel Dothan revealed nineteen distinct historical periods of continuous settlement dating back to the Early Bronze Age.

The site contains remains from ancient Canaanite civilizations, including large administrative complexes and Hebrew inscriptions from the Northern Kingdom of Israel.

Tel Dothan stands at the intersection of major trade routes connecting northern Palestine with Damascus and Jerusalem, leading south to Egypt.

A Crusader tower named Castellum Belismum was constructed on the ancient mound around 1156, marking a later period of occupation.
