Tel Erani

Tel Erani is an archaeological site in southern Israel with multiple excavation layers stacked together. Each layer reveals ancient buildings, pottery, and evidence of how people lived at different times.

The site shows human settlement stretching from the Chalcolithic period all the way to Byzantine times. Different cultures, building styles, and ways of living were layered one after another here.

The excavations here reveal how wandering communities gradually settled and developed farming practices. The tools and living spaces found tell this story of changing ways of life.

Guided tours help visitors understand the excavation methods and what was found at each layer. Wear sturdy shoes and bring sun protection, as the site is open and exposed.

Polish archaeologists uncovered one of Israel's oldest defensive walls here, built during the Early Bronze Age. This discovery shifted how we understand early fortifications in this region.
