About
Tell Qudadi is an archaeological site located near the mouth of the Yarkon River in Tel Aviv, Israel. The site features a fortress constructed during the late 8th century BCE under Assyrian rule. This defensive structure showcases the strategic significance of the location, which controlled a historical trade route. The fortress was destroyed in 732 BCE, likely due to an Assyrian military campaign, and was abandoned following the Assyrian withdrawal in the late 7th century BCE. In addition to the Iron Age fortress, the site yielded pottery from various periods, including the Early Bronze Age, Persian, Byzantine, and Early Arab periods. Notably, a Greek amphora from Lesbos was discovered, marking the earliest known presence of Lesbian ceramic work along the Mediterranean coast.
