Tel Beer Sheva

Tel Sheva Hebrew or Tell es-Seba Arabic is an archeological site in southern Israel accepted to be the remaining parts of the scriptural town of Beersheba. It lies east of the cutting edge city of Beersheba and west of the new Bedouin town of Tel Sheva/Tell as-Sabi. Tel Sheva has been protected and made available to guests in the Tel Beer Sheva National Park. The name is gotten from the Hebrew be'er, which means a well, and sheva, signifying "seven".

Tel Beer-sheba, the site of the old city, is situated on a slope sitting above the Wadi Beer-sheba around more than two miles east of the cutting edge city of Beersheba. The site was exhumed from 1969 to 1976 by the Tel Aviv University Institute of Archeology, coordinated by Prof. Yohanan Aharoni, with the exception of the last season which was driven by Prof. Ze'ev Herzog. Unearthings were reestablished by Prof Herzog somewhere in the range of 1993 and 1995 with a specific end goal to finish the revealing of the town's water framework.

The soonest occupation at Beer-sheba amid Iron Age I Stratum IX was spoken to just by seven huge pits around 22 to 25 feet in distance across. Archeologists trust that the whole settlement of this stratum secured around 2,990 sq. yards, roughly the region of half of a football field. The settlement of Beer-sheba was likely first strengthened amid the Iron IIA. A few archeologists trust that Beer-sheba, which was on the southern outskirt of the youngster Israelite kingdom, was braced by King Saul toward the finish of the eleventh century B.C.E. amid wars against the Amalekites.
