Taur Ikhbeineh

Gaza Strip, Palestine

Taur Ikhbeineh was a prehistoric settlement in what is today the Gaza Strip, Palestine. It was inhabited in the 4th millennium BC. Though the settlement was abandoned, there were burials at Taur Ikhbeineh in the late 3rd or early 2nd millennium BC. Excavations in the 20th century provided evidence of interactions between Canaanite and Egyptian people. The settlement of Tell es-Sakan may have been established as a replacement for Taur Ikbeineh.
