Abstract
This article presents the results of the 2024 season of the Tell Nabasha Project. The season consisted of the excavation of two trenches and two sondages on respectively the eastern and western edges of the site. Trench 2, located on the
eastern tell revealed the remains of one or more tower houses dating to the early to mid-4th century BCE, as well as evidence of cereal processing and food production. Trench 3, located in the temple area of the site, revealed both evidence of extensive looting in the form of modern cuts, but also the remains of a larger structure with a plaster floor and several mudbrick column emplacements. These discoveries help us to understand better the diachronic development of settlement at Tell Nabasha and the potential reshaping of the sacred landscape at the site during the early Ptolemaic Period.
