چکیده
• The Middle Bronze (MB) IIB palace was found to be considerably larger than originally estimated by the previous excavators (3000-4000 sq. m. rather than 2000 sq. m.), extending further to the north, east and west. It may extend further to the south as well, but we did not excavate in that direction this season. • Destruction deposits, including restorable local pottery, burnt organic material , and imported Cypriot pottery, were discovered which may provide further chronological data for the date of the violent destruction of the palace in the final phase of its existence. • New evidence was found for an earlier MB IIA public structure or palace lying immediately below the MB IIB palace. This is one of the very few examples of palatial remains from this period in Israel and is of great potential interest. • Interesting finds included the first gold object ever discovered at the site as well as a possible libation installation with numerous intact and restorable vessels. • Conservation and protective measures were begun in an effort to prevent further damage to the remains uncovered more than a decade ago by the previous excavators.
