About

Tel Ro'im is an archaeological site situated on a limestone hill in the Hula Valley, Israel. The site includes approximately eight caves carved into the rock on the eastern slopes, which date back to the Roman-Byzantine period (1st century BCE to 7th century CE). These caves were likely used as temporary dwellings by local farmers before the establishment of nearby settlements. Additionally, the southern slope of the hill revealed stone mounds and potsherds from the Middle Bronze Age (20th to 16th century BCE), indicating earlier human activity in the area. The site provides valuable insights into the habitation and land use patterns during the Middle Bronze Age and Roman-Byzantine periods in this region of Israel.
