At the time, the population density of the region was quite low. Its barren topography made communications difficult. It was an enclosed area, IDEAL FOR A GENESIS OR BIRTH!
Up until the end of the 1960s, the highlands were practically terra incognita in archaeological terms.
After the 1967 war, these territories were PLACED UNDER Israeli administration. Exploratory missions were then carried out at the surface level by a number of archaeological teams.
Researchers went over the territory, square meter by square meter, carrying out a meticulous collection at ground level of any traces of human passage or settlement.
The slightest object of significance was collected and its location noted,
a task that required observation, sorting and classification,
followed by analysis. Certain sites were then chosen for excavation.
