Tell Atchana is the largest Middle-Late Bronze Age settlement in the region, and in addition to its archaeological importance, it is also a popular tourist destination. One of the major focuses of the project is preserving the site's palaces and temples by constructing new mudbricks to reinforce the existing walls.
