Over the years, the Israel Antiquities Authority conducted several salvage excavations around Ein Lavan and in the valley at its foot.
Archaeological remains revealed during excavations indicate the site was intensively used for agriculture since ancient times.

In addition, several metal items were found, including a bell with an English inscription and a button of a unit of the British Army from the Mandatory period.
There have been several concerns raised about the planned construction in Ein Laban that would cut off the flow of water there.
