Bir al-Maksur

Bir al-Maksur, located in the Northern District of Israel, is an archaeological site of significant historical depth. The site has yielded flint artifacts from the Mousterian culture, showing early human activity. Further, remains from Pre-Pottery Neolithic A and B indicate early agricultural developments. The discovery of Iron Age sherds suggests there was a continued presence or activity in the Early to Middle Iron Age. A notable find is a burial cave dating to the late Roman period, containing ceramics and artifacts that provide insights into burial practices of the time. This site illustrates a continuum of human occupation and activity from the Middle Paleolithic to the late Roman period, offering a rich tapestry of historical transitions in the region.
