About
Tel Rosh, located in the Upper Galilee of northern Israel, is an artificial mound or 'Tell' that has been a significant settlement over a span of approximately 5,000 years, from the Early Bronze Age to the Ottoman Period. The site covers an area of 25 dunams and has been identified with historical towns such as 'Beit-Shemesh' and potentially 'Rehob' from biblical texts. During the Iron Age II, it served as a regional center with connections to the Kingdom of Israel and Phoenicia. Archaeological surveys and excavations have uncovered pottery assemblages, architectural remains, and tools, reflecting its long-standing habitation and agricultural use. The location's proximity to ancient roads and fertile lands contributed to its prominence throughout history, including transactions during the Crusader era. Its extensive occupation history provides valuable insights into the region's cultural and historical development.
