Ancient Palace in Israel. During the Middle Bronze Age II period (ca. 1750-1600 B.C.), Tel Kabri, located in the western Galilee was a thriving centre, with economic and cultural connections to Egypt, Cyprus, and the Aegean.
Tel Kabri was discovered in the 1950s when members of Kibbutz Kabri found Late Neolithic stone implements on the surface near the ‘Ein Giah spring. At that time D. Alon and D. Rosoliyo of the Israel Department of Antiquities and Museums identified the Middle Bronze Age rampart and a tower on its northern stretch.
More details at Tel Aviv University. there is also a blog of the current excavations at http://digkabri.wordpress.com.
Note: 3600 year-old wine cellar found in Galilee
