SOLOEM (ARAB: سولم) IS AN ARAB SETTLEMENT IN THE YASAL VALLEY NEAR THE CITY OF GOSAL, WHICH BELONGS TO THE BOSNIAN-MERJ REGIONAL COUNCIL, IN WHICH IT CONSTITUTES THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERNEST SETTLEMENT. THE LADDER HAS 2,700 INHABITANTS (AS OF 2022).

HISTORY OF HISTORY
ACCORDING TO ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE, THE VILLAGE IS CONTINUOUSLY INHABITED FROM THE BRONZE AGE. THE VILLAGE IS BUILT AROUND A ARCHAEOLOGICAL STEEP, WHOSE AREA IS 25 HECTARES, CALLED A “SIL OF THEIR TEETH” OR “A LADDER”. THERE WERE SEVERAL ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEYS. BETWEEN 1998 AND 2015, THE ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITY HELD SEVERAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS IN TEL AVIV AND ITS SURROUNDINGS. THE STAKE HAS BEEN USED SINCE THE 19TH CENTURY AS A CEMETERY, SO ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS ARE LIMITED TO THE DOCTRINES AND SURROUNDING IT.

THE BRONZE AGE
THE EARLIEST ARCHITECTURAL REMAINS FOUND IN TEL ARE FROM THE ANCIENT BRONZE AGE 1 (ABOUT 3,500 BC). ACCORDING TO THE LOCATION OF THE REMNANTS OF THE ANCIENT BRONZE AGE (2000 BC-1550 BC) INDICATES THAT THE SETTLEMENT OF THE MIDDLE BRONZE AGE WAS LIMITED COMPARED TO THE SETTLEMENT OF THE EARLY BRONZE AGE. THE TOWN WAS THRIVING AGAIN DURING THE LATE BRONZE AGE. FROM THIS PERIOD, TWO ROOMS PROBABLY BELONG TO TWO ADJACENT BUILDINGS WERE EXPOSED. IN ONE OF THEM WERE FOUND THE POTTERY VESSELS THAT INCLUDED BOWLS, A CADRE WITH A FLYER, A POT IN A BAGEL, A CHEQUE, NESTS AND A DUCK DYNAMITE BOWL. THE RICH TOOL COMPLEX BINDS THE LAYER TO THE LATE EGYPTIAN RULE OVER CANAAN DURING THE 1920S (1200 BC – 1080-1089 BC). "THEIR NAME" LIES WITH THE TOWNS THAT OCCUPY THE THIRD REICHSMS OF THE OLD KING OF EGYPT DURING THE BATTLE OF MAGDO (THE 15TH CENTURY BCE). THEIR NAME IS MENTIONED IN THE LETTER OF AL-AMENAR, IN PART OF THE LETTER OF THE "BURCIA" GOVERNOR OF MEGIDO:

IRON AGE
THE BUILDINGS FROM THE BRONZE AGE CONTINUED TO BE IMPORTED EVEN DURING THE IRON AGE. IN ONE OF THE BUILDINGS A COMPLEX OF POTTERY VESSELS WERE FOUND AND A COMPLEX FACILITY CONSISTING OF A FIXED PELVIC ON THE FLOOR. IT WAS DESCRIBED FOR IRON AGE 1. THEIR NAME IS MENTIONED IN THE LIST OF CITIES (N. 15) WHICH WAS CONQUERED BY THE FIRST OF THE KING OF EGYPT AND THE FOUNDER OF THE TWENTY-SECOND DYNASTY ON HIS JOURNEY TO THE CONQUEST OF THE LAND OF ISRAEL (920-929 BCE).

THE HELLENISTIC AND ROMAN PERIOD
FROM THE HELLENISTIC PERIOD IN ISRAEL WERE FOUND IN POTTERY, IN THE EXCAVATION HELD ON THE MAIN STREET OF THE VILLAGE.
FROM THE ROMAN PERIOD IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL WERE FOUND IN TEL AND AROUND IT THAT FRAGMENTS OF BUILDINGS, AND POTTERY VESSELS INCLUDING BOWLS, CATHEDRALS, COOKING POTS AND NESTS. IN ADDITION, ROMAN-ERA ARBITRATIONS INDICATING A RANGE OF ACTIVITIES NEAR THE AGRICULTURAL FIELDS WERE EXPOSED.

THE BYZANTINE AND NATIONAL PERIOD.
FROM THE BYZANTINE PERIOD IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL (BETWEEN 324 AND 638) AND THE EUMATIC PERIOD (661 TO 750) WERE FOUND IN ITS ENTIRETY IN MANY AND VARIED FINDINGS. AMONG OTHER THINGS: THE FINDINGS OF THE GLASS VESSELS IN TEN BASKETS. THE TOOLS ARE DATED TO THE END OF THE BYZANTINE PERIOD AND THE BEGINNING OF THE NATIONAL PERIOD AND REPRESENT VERY COMMON TYPES OF BOWLS, BOTTLES, WINE AND CANDLES. IN ADDITION TO THE FRAGMENTS OF THE TOOLS FOUND SEVERAL FRAGMENTS INDICATING A PROXIMITY TO A GLASS WORKSHOP: A SMALL LUMP OF RAW GLASS WAS DISCOVERED, AND IT CONTAINS REMNANTS OF GLASS DEBRIS, ALONG WITH TWO FRAGMENTS OF HEAT-TORN TOOLS; ANOTHER DEBRIS BLOC, A BURGLAR, WHICH IS PERHAPS RELATED TO THE TOOTH DECAY. THE FINDING OF THE POTTERY VESSELS FROM THE BYZANTINE PERIOD INCLUDES RED-WASHED BOWLS FROM POCAIA. THE BULK OF THE FINDING IS DATED TO THE OMITH PERIOD, AND IT INCLUDES A LAKE THAT IS DECORATED WITH THE CHOICE, A BOWL FROM A RED PORCH FROM EGYPT, AN OPEN COOKING CASCADE OF ITS EAR HANDS UNDER THE TONGUE, COOKING POTS, CANANS AND SLUGS. YES, PAINTED RED AND DARK NESTS WERE DISCOVERED THAT WERE DECORATED WITH A TYRANT DECORATION. SEVERAL OF THESE TOOL TYPES CONTINUE TO APPEAR IN THE ABBASID PERIOD, SO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE FINDING IS SLIGHTLY LATE FOR THE DIVINE PERIOD AND ITS TIME AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ABBASID PERIOD. AS SUCH, THERE IS A COIN OF THE GREAT ANTHROPOLOGICAL KING (491–526 CE), WHICH WAS COINED
