Tel Hanaton

Tel Hanaton is an archaeological mound in northern Israel with layered remains spanning multiple periods of settlement. The site spreads across a considerable area and reveals traces of residential quarters, working areas, and structured spaces from different eras.

The settlement began in the Middle Bronze Age and continued through many centuries until the Roman Period. Ancient records name this place as a trading point on routes that connected different regions of the ancient world.

Over many centuries, this place served as an important center where different groups of people lived and worked together. The remains show how each community organized their homes and daily activities in ways suited to their time.

The mound sits in an agricultural landscape with clear views across the surrounding terrain. Visitors should expect uneven ground and minimal facilities, requiring more time to explore the full extent of the site.

The layers of the mound form a visual record of the past, with ancient walls and floors stacked directly on top of each other. This layering allows experts and visitors to read the site's history like a vertical timeline carved into the earth.
