Tell Hadar ('splendid hill') is an archaeological site on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee. It contains a settlement and a port. A wall, 70 metres (230 ft) across, is either of the of the Late Bronze Age I or Iron I.. In between periods of no human presence (14th, 10th century BC), it had grown,[clarification needed] under the control of an Aramean kingdom, possibly Geshur; a planned city, granaries, and possibly other storage facilities, were constructed.[1][2] In the 9th century BC the wall was discarded. An excavation revealed two buildings sharing one wall.[3]

New Testament connection

Christians connect the site at Tell Hadar with Jesus' second miracle of the multiplication of loaves and fishes narrated in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, known as the Feeding of the 4,000. A monument built of a raw local basalt boulder decorated with Christian inscriptions and images was erected near the archaeological site. [4][5]
