Tel Akko, Archaeological tell in Acre, Israel
The archaeological site spans 22 hectares along the Mediterranean coast, featuring ancient structures, walls, and remnants of multiple civilization layers at the edge of modern Acre.
The settlement flourished from the Bronze Age through the Hellenistic period, serving as a major Mediterranean port city until its relocation westward in the second century BC.
Excavations at Tel Akko reveal the presence of Canaanite, Phoenician, Assyrian, Persian, and Greek civilizations through architectural remains and recovered artifacts.
The archaeological project combines excavation activities with geographic information systems, offering summer programs for researchers and students between July and August.
The site contains the only natural harbor in the region, positioned strategically at the intersection of major trade routes connecting the Mediterranean to inland territories.
