Tell Abu Hawam, Archaeological site near Qishon River estuary in Haifa, Israel
The excavation site contains multiple layers of ancient settlements, including architectural remains from the Persian period and Late Bronze Age civilizations.
Established around 1600 BCE, Tell Abu Hawam functioned as a port city and fishing village at the intersection of maritime routes between Cyprus and the Nile Delta.
Excavations at the site revealed numerous ceramic assemblages, imported pottery from Cyprus, and evidence of extensive dye production activities in ancient times.
The archaeological site now sits 1.5 kilometers from the coast due to geological changes, river silting, and modern urban development patterns.
British excavations between 1929 and 1933 uncovered a black-glazed fish-plate bowl with Phoenician inscriptions dating to the 4th or 3rd century BCE.
