Abstract

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.
