Archaeology of Canaan

The archaeology of Canaan involves studying ancient remains—such as ruins, pottery, and inscriptions—to understand the history, culture, and daily life of the people who lived in the region known as Canaan (modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and surrounding areas). This field helps reveal how civilizations developed, interacted, and evolved over thousands of years. By analyzing these artifacts, archaeologists piece together insights into ancient societies, their religious beliefs, governance, and trade practices, providing a tangible link to the past beyond written records.
