Abstract
The previously unexcavated site of Ḥorbat Menorim overlooks the Sea of Galilee and enjoys several springs located on its slopes. Three strata were exposed at the site, including well-preserved architectural elements dating to Early Bronze Age I and Iron Age IIA. Pottery dating from the Intermediate Bronze Age and Middle Bronze Age IIB was found as well. The EB I and Iron IIA pottery assemblages closely connect the site to the region of the Yavne’el Valley, to sites such as Tel Yin‘am and Tel Adami. It seems that the location of the site on the passage of the caravan route Darb el-Hawarna, connecting the coastal highway with Transjordan, influenced its economy and cultural connections.
