Warm congratulations to Doron Jamchi, who has been a member of the Hannathon Project since 2025, on receiving the Dean’s Certificate of Excellence from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences for outstanding academic achievements in his M.A. studies. 🏺![]()

Doron’s thesis, written under the supervision of Dr. Assaf Kleiman, examines connectivity between different settlements in northern Israel through a detailed study of Phoenician transport jars found both on mounds, especially at Tel el-Badawiya (Hannathon), and in surveys conducted in the rural hinterland of the Megiddo Province. His research explores the recovery of the economic system in the northern valleys under Assyrian imperial rule following the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel, as well as the integration of rural communities within this system, rural–urban relations, and trade connections with settlements along the Lebanese coast.![]()

Warm congratulations to Roi Harel, who has been a member of the Hannathon Project since its very beginning, on receiving the Dean’s Certificate of Excellence from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences for outstanding academic achievements in his M.A. studies. 🏺![]()

Roi’s research project, written under the supervision of Prof. Gunnar Lehmann and Dr. Assaf Kleiman, explores patterns of waste disposal in the Western Galilee during the Persian period, focusing on the case studies of Tel el-Badawiya (Hannathon) and Tell Keisan. By examining pits used for waste disposal, the study opens a window onto a broader phenomenon: the presence of pits at certain sites from this period whose original purpose remains unclear.![]()

The Amarna letters do not only document diplomacy between great kings. They also preserve moments of local intrigue. In one letter, a Canaanite ruler reports the capture of Lab’ayu, a controversial political figure who was supposed to be sent to Egypt by ship. Before he could be delivered, events took a dramatic turn.![]()
![]()
When Lab’ayu reached Hannathon, a local official reportedly accepted a bribe and released him. Soon after, Lab’ayu was dead, likely the victim of a planned ambush. Whether the letter’s author was telling the full truth or defending himself politically, the episode reveals a turbulent landscape of shifting loyalties and fragile authority, and places Hannathon at the center of the story. Survey results indicate significant Late Bronze Age occupation at the site, and recent excavations in Area B on the eastern slope uncovered a destruction layer dating to the second millennium BCE, evidence of a dramatic moment in the life of the settlement.![]()
