Ashkelon is a city on the Israel Mediterranean coast just north of Gaza. It was first settled by the Canaanite people About 4,000 BC and by 1300 BC was a well developed city with mud brick walls and arched gates.
This is a picture of my dig site in 1999 and the Canaanite tombs that I worked in are over the edge and about 45 feet down. This was a wonderful place to dig and the seven weeks I spent there were not enough.
For those seven weeks this was the most exciting place to be when every day I was uncovering things that had not seen the light of day in thirty-five hundred years. Awesome!
