Tell Abu Hawam

Tell Abu Hawam is the site of a small city established in the Late Bronze Age (circa 1600 BCE) in the area of modern-day Haifa, Israel.^[1] The sixth century BCE geographer Scylax described the city^[which?] as being located "between the bay and the promontory of Zeus", by the latter meaning the northwestern extremity of Mount Carmel. It existed as a port city and a fishing village, and was moved^[when?] to the site south of what is now the neighborhood of Bat Galim. The city eventually expanded into what is now the city of Haifa.^{[dubious – discuss]}^{[citation needed]}

The site was excavated by a British expedition from 1929 to 1933.^[2]
