About
Tel Barom, located on a basalt hill in the Hula Valley, is an archaeological site of strategic significance due to its commanding view of the surrounding area. It saw multiple phases of habitation, beginning in the 2nd century BCE during the Seleucid Empire. The site was occupied through the Roman period and then abandoned in the 2nd century CE. It was resettled as a wealthy Byzantine village in the 4th century CE, characterized by organized urban planning and agricultural activities, including a large oil press. Following the Islamic conquest, the site saw another phase of abandonment until it was settled again in the Mamluk period with a poorer village that did not utilize previous Byzantine installations. It was finally abandoned in the 14th century CE.
