Tel Anafa

"Egret hill" Arabic: تل الأخضر, romanized: Tel el-Hader, lit.

"The green hill") is an archaeological site and nature reserve in the Upper Galilee, Israel.

[2][3] The site was resettled in the late Hellenistic period, in the last quarter of the second century BCE, during which a large building with a central courtyard was constructed.

[5] Cooking pans and lids imported from Italy were found in late Hellenistic levels, dating from c. 100–80 BCE.

These items are an early example for commercial exchange between Italy and the Levant before the Roman conquest of the region.
