Gezer, Archaeological site and national park in Central District, Israel
Tel Gezer extends over 30 acres on the western slopes of the Judean Hills, between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, with views of the Ayalon Valley.
The site shows evidence of continuous settlement from 4000 BCE to 100 CE, with fortifications built during the Middle Bronze Age including stone walls and towers.
The Gezer Calendar, discovered at the site, represents one of the earliest known Hebrew texts and documents agricultural activities across different seasons.
The archaeological excavations contain multiple layers of civilization, featuring a water system, defensive structures, and a six-chambered gate from the 10th century BCE.
Nine boundary stones with inscriptions in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek mark the limits of ancient Gezer, providing information about its administrative organization.
