| Summary: | The site of Tel Erani in the hinterland of the coastal plain has been excavated since the 1950s by several archaeological teams. Salvage excavations at the site conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority in 2015-2016 exposed a cemetery dating to Iron Age I-IIA that had been dug into Early Bronze Age I deposits in the southern part of the mound's lower terrace. This article presents preliminary results of the analyses of the human remains, selected materialculture finds, animal offerings recovered from the burials, and 14C dating. These data provide insights into the nature of the cemetery and its relationship with contemporary sites and contexts. |
