Description
Summary:The site of Khirbet el-Meiyiteh in north-eastern Samaria was discovered within the framework of the Manasseh Hill Country Survey and was attributed to the Intermediate Bronze Age (c. 2300-1950 BCE), a period of urban decline in the southern Levant. Recent excavations at the site revealed a fortification wall and a wealth of highly manufactured ceramic assemblage that attest to the importance of this site in the region and has implications on our knowledge of this intriguing period.\n4207 Le site de Khirbet el-Meiyiteh dans la Samarie du nord-est a été découvert dans le cadre du Manasseh Hill Country Survey et a été assigné à la période intermédiaire du Bronze (c.2300-1950 av. J.-C.), période de déclin urbain au Levant méridional. Des fouilles récentes ont mises au jour une muraille et une riche quantité de céramiques finement manufacturées, ce qui atteste de l’importance du site dans la région, et enrichit notre connaissance de cette période sensible.\n4207 \n4207
