The excavation at Tel Ḥanan exposed building remains of a Persian- and Hellenistic-period settlement, as well as pottery dating from the Middle Bronze Age, the Late Bronze Age and the Iron Age. The architectural remains attributed to the Persian and Hellenistic periods attest to careful planning, as is known from other contemporary coastal sites. According to the ceramic and numismatic evidence, the settlement at Tel Ḥanan maintained trading connections with Phoenician sites along the northern coast of Israel and Lebanon. Based on the finds, we may conclude that the site was inhabited until 150 BCE.
