Tell Mekhada, Archaeological tell in Beqaa Valley, Lebanon
Tell Mekhada stands as a layered archaeological mound 400 meters southwest of Nebaa Faour, containing evidence of multiple human settlements across different periods.
The excavations initiated in 1965 by archaeologist Peter Wescombe revealed substantial artifacts and structures dating back to the Neolithic period in this region.
