Abstract
The first season of excavation was conducted at Tell Jalul during
summer 1992, when two fields were opened. In the field A, there
were two squares and field B contained six squares. The author,
who himself participated in the excavation, describes systematically
the phases of settlement in the fields A and B. In both fields, it
was discovered that the city was destroyed ca. 1000 BC. During the
beginning of 9th century BC, a new city was established and again
destroyed, sometime in the middle of the century. Toward the end
of 9th or beginning of 8th century, another settlement was established
and destroyed shortly thereafter. It appears that the site was then
abandoned.
