Tel Ḥaẓor – 2016

The 2016 excavation season at Tel Hazor, conducted by the Selz Foundation Hazor Excavations in Memory of Yigael Yadin, focused on Area M3 under the direction of A. Ben-Tor and S. Bechar. This international effort involved over 50 participants from multiple countries and was supported by various institutions, including the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Israel Exploration Society. The excavation aimed to uncover and analyze historical layers, with a particular emphasis on restoration, surveying, and documentation. Key contributions included the work of B. Lhoyer as assistant supervisor, I. Strand for surveying and drafting, and M. Cimadevilla for field photography. The project was housed at Kibbutz Gonen and conducted in collaboration with the National Parks Authority, ensuring a comprehensive and methodical approach to preserving and studying this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
