Archaeologists in Israel are excited at their latest find: a bronze bracelet from 3,500 years ago, in southeast Tzfat in the Galilee.
The excavation of the first known village from the Late Bronze period – roughly the time of the Biblical Joseph – is taking place in the Ramat Razim neighborhood, with funding provided by the Ministry of Transport and Ministry of Housing. The work is being done in preparation for the construction of new neighborhoods, commercial areas, an access road and a medical school in the area.
