Tell Abu Hawam
Bronze age city in Israel From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tell Abu Hawam is the site of a small city established in the Late Bronze Age (circa 1600 BCE) in the area of modern-day Haifa, Israel.[1] The sixth century BCE geographer Scylax described the city[which?] as being located "between the bay and the promontory of Zeus", by the latter meaning the northwestern extremity of Mount Carmel. It existed as a port city and a fishing village, and was moved[when?] to the site south of what is now the neighborhood of Bat Galim. The city eventually expanded into what is now the city of Haifa.[dubious – discuss][citation needed]

The site was excavated by a British expedition from 1929 to 1933.[2]
Archaeology
During the 1929-1933 British excavations, a black-glazed bowl of the "fish-plate" type was uncovered, featuring a Phoenician graffito scratched on its underside. It is suggested that the bowl may originate from the 4th or 3rd century BCE.[2]
