Tell el-'Ajjul

Historical Site

Archaeological site

Tall al-Ajjul or Tell el-'Ajul is an archaeological mound or tell in the Gaza Strip. The fortified city excavated at the site dates as far back as ca. 2000–1800 BCE and was inhabited during the Bronze Age. It is located at the mouth of Wadi Ghazzah just south of the city of Gaza. Tell el-Ajjul was likely established as a replacement for the nearby settlement of Tell es-Sakan, and in turn replaced by Tell es-Sanam. The nearby contemporary settlement of al-Moghraqa may have functioned as a satellite of Tell el-Ajjul.
