The two sites are located in the Jordan valley. Built at the bottom of a rocky hill, each represents a large elliptic temenos enclosed by a sandal-shaped stone wall. The sites were founded in the early Iron Age I and kept functioning, without any architectural changes, during Iron Age II. The finds, along with the Biblical source (Psalms 78, 60), allows us to identify these unique sites as cultic oriented centers used for gatherings and public assemblies. The excavations were directed by Dr. Dror Ben-Yosef.
