Abstract

In the winter of 2017, a site survey was undertaken of Tell Asur, ancient Baal Hazor in the West Bank, for which this article is the full publication. Although it failed to discover a cultic site of Baal, its Byzantine finds form an important contribution to the archaeological portrait of the area in the Byzantine period.
Este artículo es la publicación completa de la prospección arqueológica llevada acabo en el sitio de Tell Asur, antigua Ball Hazor en Cisjordania, durante el invierno de 2017. A pesar de no haber descubierto un sitio de culto a Baal, los hallazgos bizantinos significan una importante contribución al cuadro arqueológico general del área durante este período.
