Khirbet 'Ether Archaeological Project
Embedded Files
The excavations of Khirbet ‘Ether are a continuation of the Tel Burna Excavation Project. The Tel Burna excavations ended in 2024 and are in an intensive publication phase. In the process of the Tel Burna excavations, surveys of the hinterland as well as a surface survey of the nearby site of Khirbet ‘Ether were conducted. Our results showed a site that was occupied during the Late Iron IIA through the Iron IIC (contemporary with Tel Burna), as well as in later periods, especially the Byzantine period.
