Bull Site, Archaeological site in Dhahrat et-Tawileh, Palestine
The excavation site sits 75 meters above an ancient road through the Zababdeh valley between Dothan and Tirzah, offering views of Mount Carmel and Mount Tabor.
During excavations in 1977, researchers uncovered a significant bronze bull statuette measuring 17.5 centimeters long and 12.4 centimeters high at this 12th-century BCE location.
The site contains a perimeter wall made from large boulders and features what researchers identify as a standing stone with a paved area near the eastern entrance.
The location requires advanced scheduling for visits and sits approximately 6 kilometers south of Jenin and 4 kilometers east of Qabatiya in the northern West Bank.
Archaeological evidence indicates the site functioned as a single-phase cult installation during Iron Age IA, with subsequent abandonment after a brief period of use.
