[1] I It is located near the spring which is the main source of the Litani River at a height of 1,002 metres (3,287 ft).
It was first studied by Lorraine Copeland and Peter Wescombe in 1965-1966 and is accessible via a road which turns from Hoch Barada to the left.
[2] Materials recovered included flint tools such as scrapers and the blade from a segmented sickle.
Pottery included burnished, painted and red-washed shards, some with incised decoration or lattice patterns.
The material resembled finds from Byblos and Ard Tlaili leading Copeland and Wescombe to suggest a late Neolithic occupation for the tell that extended into the Bronze Age.
