Tell sites

Tell sites are archaeological locations where layers of human activity and settlement have built up over time, creating a mound or hill. Each layer, or "stratum," represents different periods of occupation, allowing archaeologists to study the changes in culture, technology, and environment over centuries. These sites are valuable for understanding the history of civilizations, as they often contain artifacts, structures, and organic materials that reveal how people lived, interacted, and evolved in their societies. Tell sites can often be found in regions with a long history of human settlement, particularly in the Middle East.
