Khirbet Kerak
Khirbet Kerak ((アラビア語:خربة الكرك) , "the ruins of the castle") or Beth Yerah ((ヘブライ語:בית ירח ), "House of the Moon (god)") is a tell (archaeological mound) located on the southern shore of the Sea of Galilee in modern day Israel.〔 The tell spans an area of over 50 acres—one of the largest in the Levant—and contains remains dating from the Early Bronze Age (c. 3000 BC - 2000 BC) and from the Persian period (c. 450 BC) through to the early Islamic period (c. 1000 AD).〔''The Holy Land: An Archaeological Guide from Earliest Times to 1700,'' Jerome Murphy O'Connor, Oxford University Press, 1980, p.159〕
"Khirbet Kerak ware" is a type of Early Bronze Age Syro-Palestinian pottery first discovered at this site. It is also found in other parts of the Levant (including Jericho, Beth Shan, Tell Judeideh, and Ugarit).〔(''Khirbet Kerak Ware'' ) ancientneareast.net〕 Khirbet Kerak culture appears to have been a Levantine version of the Early Transcaucasian Culture.
==Location==
The tell of Khirbet Kerak lies where the Sea of Galilee empties into the Jordan river and rises 15 meters above sea level.〔〔 It is triangular in shape and approximately 1.2 km by 380 m (at its widest point), covering 60-75 acres. The Jordan river runs to the south, although it previously (until the medieval period at the earliest) ran north and west of it.
