Tel Kabri

In the early 1990s, the late Aharon Kempinski uncovered a monumental Middle Bronze palace with Aegean-style frescoes on the large mound of Tel Kabri. Renewed excavations under the direction of A. Yasur-Landau and Eric H. Cline are re-examining the palace as a way of exploring the Middle Bronze polity at Tel Kabri. Although the frescoes and the painted plastered floors are not visible at the site (they are protected with a sand and geo-textile covering), the plan and monumental character of the palace is evident.

Stop by and explore the palace for yourself.
