Tell Abu Hawam

Haifa, Israel

Tell Abu Hawam is the site of a small city established in the Late Bronze Age (circa 1600 BCE) in the area of modern-day Haifa, Israel. It was known to the Crusaders as Latin: Cayphas Vetusta (Ancient Haifa) and Latin: Vetus Cayphas (Old Haifa). It existed as a port city and a fishing village, and was moved in the late 11th century to the site which became known as Haifa el-Atika. The site was excavated by a British expedition from 1929 to 1933.
