	Recent Archaeological Discoveries at Hazor
		Hazor was the largest city in the southern Levant for much of the 2nd millennium BCE and closely associated with the large and powerful Bronze Age city-states in Syria.
		Hazor was first excavated for four seasons in the 1950s and again in 1968-1969 by the Institute of Archaeology at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem under the direction of one of the fathers of Israeli archaeology, Yigael Yadin.
		The recent excavations at Hazor have shown definitively, however, that the six-chambered gate and casemate wall were built in the mid-10th century BCE, along with a large public building connected to the earliest phase of the casemate wall by a paved street.

		To be sure, Yadin's original dating of Hazor Stratum X, although based on comparative stratigraphy and pottery considerations, was, using Yadin's word, "clinched" by the witness of 1 Kings 9:15 (Yadin: 135; quoted in Finkelstein 1999a: 57).
		The difficulty is compounded by the fact that the absolute historical chronology of Hazor Strata VI and V, based as it is on reliable pottery assessments and the availability of Assyrian textual evidence, is not in dispute.
		Thus, Finkelstein's Low Chronology would attribute the destruction of Hazor Strata IX to Hazael, while Yadin and Ben-Tor would posit that the destruction was caused by Ben-Hadad I. The latter assumption is based solely on 1 Kings 15:20, which Finkelstein is forced to reject.
