SUMMARY:Tulul ʿAnabta: New Insights into Early Bronze Age Urbanism in Pale
 stine
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Vortrag auf Einladung der ÖGUF:&nbsp\;Across the southern Leva
 nt\, the Early Bronze Age (EBA\, 3700–2500 BCE) witnessed the emergence 
 of new forms of spatial and social organization. This process of urbanizat
 ion is unevenly documented\, particularly in Palestine. Tulul ʿAnabta\, n
 ear Tulkarem\, provides a new case study for examining these developments 
 through fortifications\, architecture\, resource management\, and changing
  spatial organization.\nFirst identified in the 1970s\, Tulul ʿAnabta was
  investigated by Wael Abu-Azizeh from 2021 to 2023\, revealing fortificati
 ons as well as domestic and monumental architecture. In 2025\, the Tulul 
 ʿAnabta French-Palestinian Archaeological Mission (TAFPAM)\, co-directed 
 by Blandine Besnard (Éveha International\, Archéorient\, Ifpo) and Ghass
 an Nagagreh (Dar al-Kalima University)\, initiated a new research program 
 in collaboration with the Palestinian Department of Antiquities.\nThe firs
 t two years of the project have provided new evidence for the settlement
 ’s chronology and organization through excavation and material studies. 
 Ceramic analysis indicates a predominant occupation during EBA II (3000–
 2800 BCE)\, while a small number of sherds suggest possible activity durin
 g EBA IB (3300–3000 BCE). Excavations in Area 2 exposed substantial rema
 ins of a public building with massive walls and superimposed floors\, acco
 mpanied by several large water-storage installations. Area 3 provided new 
 evidence for domestic architecture\, while Areas 1 and 4 further documente
 d the fortifications and intramural occupation.\nThe lecture presents the 
 results of TAFPAM’s 2025–2026 research and examines what they reveal a
 bout the development of Tulul ʿAnabta and its role within broader process
 es of Early Bronze Age urbanization in the southern Levant.\n\nTeilnahme
