The Site

Tell Tayinat is a Bronze and Iron Age site, currently being excavated by the University of Toronto. Here is the official website. They've made some amazing discoveries in the last few years, including a group of finds in the Neo-Assyrian temple on the site, and this season a monumental stone lion (pictures coming soon!). 

A view of the entrance way to the Neo-Assyrian temple on the site.

Last season they recovered a very important cuneiform tablet and an 
Assyrian glazed vessel on this platform within the temple.

The view from the temple. On the right is a shelter covering exposed mudbrick that has been excavated for several seasons and needs protection.
