The site’s first excavator, R.A.S. Macalister, identified several Late Bronze Age buildings on the tell’s acropolis in the early 20th century. The later Hebrew Union College excavation (1965–1973), led by William Dever, uncovered a palace which they dated to the Late Bronze Age IIA (c. 14th century B.C.E.), but which likely dates to the Late Bronze Age I (c. 1500 B.C.E.).
