"hanging Moore"

- CONTENT -
Thiel Mour is an ancient archaeological steep in the north of the city of Ashdod. The rod is located adjacent to the northern shore of the quake, one mile before poured into the sea, in the wing of the port of Ashdod. The steep is located on the ancient sea, and is sitting in the lagin from the late Bronze Age terminal. At its peak, he served as the port city of ancient Ashdod.

History of History

Settlements in compliance
The first settlement in Tel began between the 15th and 16th century BC, during the Canaanite period, from which the settlement in the area has extensive trade ties with Egypt and Cyprus, and later with Phoenicia. The findings discovered in this period indicate a city settlement with a port in the mouth of a stream to the quarry, with a site of worship. In the 13th century BCE, the settlement was destroyed, with a thick wall that was crossed on the area.

With the invasion of the southern coastal plain in the 12th century BCE, the site was held in a farming area, probably a small port owner. The settlement was under the auspices of the city of Ashdod, and therefore it is possible to conclude that Tal Moore served as its port city during this period. In the 10th century BCE, the settlement was destroyed, along with Ashdod, it is possible in Pharaoh's invasion of Siamese, or by King David in one of his wars in the invasions. In the 8th century BCE, the settlement in Tel Aviv was restored and a new fortress was built, possibly in the framework of the conquests of the region by Ozyahu, King of Judah. At the end of the century, during the conquest journey of the Second Sergon, the King of Aragon, the fortress was destroyed and the plant was abandoned.

During the Hellenistic period, the settlement in Tel Aviv was renewed, and it was exposed to a large public structure and a facility for the production of ergile colors. The settlement was destroyed again at the beginning of the Ammonean period, and later continued to exist as a small farming settlement in the Roman period.

During the Byzantine period, the importance of sea fertilization was increased and replaced by hanging Moore as a dress of sage.

Archaeological excavations
It was excavated between 1959 and 1960 (when the port was established) by a delegation of the ancient wing headed by Moshe Dotan. The site discovered 12 archaeological layers according to a depth of 7 meters. The deepest layer is the late Bronze Age terminal, and the later layer from the Hellenistic period. The eight upper layers ( Area A) that span an area of about 100 square meters were almost completely excavated, the four lower layers ( Area B) were only partially excavated. At the top of the steep is a well at a depth of 22 meters and a 1.5 m diameter is approximately, and in half its depth there is a horizontally crossed cleaner towards the west. It seems that the Yanke was used as a eloquent poisoning for the residents of the 3rd.

The artifacts from the excavations were presented at the Museum of the Ancient Division in the late 1960s.

The focus was opened for a travel visit in October 1991.
