Preliminary Report on the Second (1992) Season of Excavations at Tell esh-Shuna North

Abstract

Excavations continued at Tell esh-Shuna in 1992. In Area D a series of rectilinear buildings were exposed underlying Chalcolithic pits and open areas. In Area A several later EB I buildings including one potentially substantial example were uncovered. A midden area of this period included evidence relating to metallurgical activity. Overlying these entities were four very large walls that probably relate to an EB structure of monumental character. In Area F deposits produced quantities of EB III Khirbet Kerak ware. The sequence in Areas A and E was capped with the denuded remains of a very large Hellenistic building and burials of the same period. In Areas G and H well preserved remains of an unexpected late Roman-Byzantine settlement were revealed.
