Tell Tayinat Archive
Exciting News from Tim Harrison's dig at Tell Tayinat. The University of Toronto news is reporting:
Excavations led by a University of Toronto archaeologist at the site of a recently discovered temple in southeastern Turkey have uncovered a cache of cuneiform tablets dating back to the Iron Age period between 1200 and 600 BCE. Found in the temple's cella, or 'holy of holies', the tablets are part of a possible archive that may provide insights into Assyrian imperial aspirations.

Several articles on the temple were posted earlier in the summer before the season began.
