רצף התיישבות נדיר
חתך עמוק זה, שנחפר על ידי משלחת אוניברסיטת שיקגו (1939-1925), פותח צוהר יחיד במינו אל כשלושים היישובים שנבנו, זה על גבי זה, באתר. בזכות רצף ההתיישבות - למן התקופה הנאוליתית ועד התקופה הפרסית ובשל היקף החפירות שנערכו בו נחשב תל מגידו ’ערש’ הארכיאולוגיה המקראית ו’מעבדה’ לשיטות מחקר מודרניות.

A Unique Continuity
The deep section dug by the University of Chicago Expedition (1925-1939) provides a unique glimpse into the nearly thirty settlements built one on top of the other at the site. Due to the unique continuity of its occupation from the Neolithic period through the Persian period - and the scope of its excavations, Tel Megiddo is considered the ’cradle’ of biblical archaeology and the ’laboratory’ of modern research methods.
