In a trial excavation conducted at Site 152 four occupation strata were discovered, dating to the Intermediate Bronze Age, Middle Bronze Age II, Late Bronze Age I and Iron Age I. A water channel, dating to the Hellenistic period or later, was also found. The finds included pottery, flint tools, animal bones and mollusks. This area appears to have been settled in almost all historical periods due to its proximity to water streams and alluvial soils.
