The site is situated near the town of Anabta, in a region characterized by the rolling hills and valleys of the western foothills of the central highlands. In 2025, a study mission was organized in Ramallah to analyze and document the archaeological material from previous excavation campaigns stored at the Palestinian Department of Antiquities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research History<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe 2021\u20132023 excavations led by W. Abu Azieh (then with IFPO) revealed that Tulul Anabta is a major site for understanding urbanization in the southern Levant during the 3rd millennium, featuring fortifications, monumental buildings, domestic spaces, and water systems. Combined with data from surveys conducted in the 1970s, these discoveries indicate that the site was a fully developed urban center during the Early Bronze Age (EBA, 3700\u20132500). However, without an analysis of the material remains, several questions remained unanswered: the exact chronology (EB I, II, or III), the typology and techniques of pottery and stone tools, the subsistence economy, and the organization of craft and food production activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
