Hazor

Hazor


‎In the 2nd millennium BCE, Hazor was the only real cosmopolitan city of Palestine; it had many international connections. The city consisted of an upper town (sites A, B and G) of 12 ha, and a lower town (sites C, E, F, D, K and H) of 70 ha. Its ideal location at the most important north-south route of the Levant was part of the reason for its wealth. In the monarchic period, the population was again limited to the upper town. The city was now a bulwark against the Aramaeans who settled east of the Huleh Valley.

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
