An archaeological tel is the residue of settlements on its prior settlements venturing very deep into history. Made up of pottery, prehistoric flint, bricks and ruptured walls that are the reference points for archaeologists. Tell Makor stands 71 feet high and 600 feet wide.

2) By what means do historians and archaeologists date, classify and arrive at generalizations about the civilizations whose remains they are studying?
Historians and archaeologists date and classify remains from civilizations using many different methods.

Another example is in the chapter “Yigal and His Three Generals” where they stood in the way of the Romans unarmed but wouldn’t allow them to put the statues of Caligula in their land.
