Abstract
In June–November 1954 and April 1955, excavations were conducted on an artificial mound about 800 m. north of the mouth of Ga'aton river, near the Nahariya seashore (map ref. 208/768). The excavations were carried out following the discovery of pottery sherds on the southern slopes of the mound, by residents of the neighborhood. In the excavations that were conducted on behalf of the Department of Antiquities of the Mandatory Government in 1947, remains of a structure were discovered. The structure was identified as a temple based on the finds inside its rooms, which included numerous small offering-vessels, fragments of incense stands, a silver figurine of a goddess and a pottery figurines of doves. The temple was dated to the Middle Bronze Age.
