Abstract :
Excavations on site Bey 020 were carried out by the American University at Beirut and Tübingen University from 1995 onwards. They exposed remains of two phases of the Bronze Age city-wall. In the Iron Age, these fortifications were replaced by a huge mound that was heaped up in front of and above the old city-wall and coated with unhewn stones, the so-called glacis of the Phoenician period. This glacis and the way leading up to the city appear to have had more usage phases than the one we knew about.
