Tell Abu Hawam
Bronze age city in Israel / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tell Abu Hawam is the site of a small city established in the Late Bronze Age (circa 1600 BCE) in the area of modern-day Haifa, Israel.[1] The sixth century BCE geographer Scylax described the city[which?] as being located "between the bay and the promontory of Zeus", by the latter meaning the northwestern extremity of Mount Carmel. It existed as a port city and a fishing village, and was moved[when?] to the site south of what is now the neighborhood of Bat Galim. The city eventually expanded into what is now the city of Haifa.[dubious ā discuss][citation needed]
The site was excavated by a British expedition from 1929 to 1933.[2]
