In 1989 the Austrian-Swedish archaeologist Peter M. Fischer started excavations at Tell Abu al-Kharaz and a series of surveys which also included Tell al-Maqlub. The main aim of Fischer’s excavations was to study the occupational sequence of this relatively large tell (hill with occupation). The discoveries at Tell Abu al-Kharaz by Fischer and his team during eleven seasons of excavations include flourishing settlements from the Early, Middle and Late Bronze Ages, from approximately 3200 to 1200 B.C., with far-reaching international contacts. There are also finds from the Iron Age which is the period of the above described Biblical events. Fischer says that Tell Abu al-Kharaz is a good candidate for Jabesh Gilead, however, the present state of research does not allow any definite conclusions.
