Tel Zeton (Hebrew: תל זיתון, also known as Tell Abu Zeitun, is an archaeological site in the Pardes Katz neighborhood of Bnei Brak, Israel.
The site was inhabited as late as the 10th century CE, during the Roman, Byzantine, Early Arab, and Mamluk periods.
The first time was by Jacob Kaplan in 1957, on behalf of the Israel Exploration Society, promoted by the Beit Zvi center.
The excavation lasted a month and yielded findings of the Persian period and halted upon reaching remains from the Iron Age.
The fourth excavation took place in 2015 by Angelina Dagot, west of the site and revealed several installations and pottery from various periods from the Iron Age to the Mamluk rule.
[2] The 2005 excavation revealed a settlement layer from the Middle Bronze Age II (early 2nd millennium BC).
One significant discovery was an Aramic ostracon which was part of a large jug used to store olive oil or wine.
[1] Félix-Marie Abel identified the site in 1938 with Gath-Rimmon, mentioned in the Book of Joshua as a Levite town in the territory of the Tribe of Dan.
