Tel Zeydan

Historical Landmarks

Ziadan Hill was famous for its woollen textile industry, and thousands of clay weights from standing looms have been found there. Visible are double-chambered conical pottery kilns for firing large vessels. The site is surrounded by a 6-metre-high defensive wall, some of whose stones have been looted in recent years. The erosion of the wall is being documented in preparation for reinforcing it with grass-clay retaining walls.
