| Résumé: | Following the violent destruction of Stratum IV the city at Tel Reḥov was rebuilt, yet limited to the upper mound, an area of about three hectares. Two main strata can be attributed to the Iron IIB. A fortification system found in Area B had an earlier phase consisting of a casemate wall with a tower and a later phase with a wide city wall. Dwellings and courtyards were excavated in Areas A, B, and J. The Assyrian destruction was severe, evidenced by the slaughter of people in their homes in Area A. Scanty squatter activity was discovered following the destruction, as were seven burials, some with Assyrian-type pottery bottles, perhaps evidence of Assyrian presence on the summit. One of the burials is especially rich in finds and perhaps belonged to a high-ranking person. (Please note: This article contains images of human skeletal remains.) |
