האורוות הצפוניות
במגידו נמצאו שני מכלולים ארכיקטוניים דומים, השייכים לאותה תקופה (המאה ה-9 או ה-8 לפסה"נ) - האחד כאן, והשני בשוליו הדרומיים של התל. חלק מן החוקרים רואים במבנים אלה מחסנים או שווקים הדעה הרווחת רואה בהם אורוות סוסים.

"צרתי על שומרון וכבשתיה; 27,290 היושבים בה עם מרכבותיהם נשאתי כשלל 50 רכב וגייסתי לי מהם למשמר המלכותי (...)" (תעודה אשורית, המלך סרגון השני (721-705) לפסה"נ מציין גדוד של מרכבות ממלכת ישראל הכבושה ששולב בצבאו.

The Northern Stables
Architectural complexes dating from the same period (9th or 8th c B C ) and of similar design were found near the northern and southern edges of the mound. Through the years they were variously interpreted as stables storehouses or marketplaces. Recent research seems to corroborate their identification as horse stables.

I besieged and conquered Samaria "Led way as booty 27,290 inhabitants of it. I formed from among them a contingent of a 50 chariots (...)" (Assyrian records. King Sargon II (721-705) BCE mentions the recruiting of unit of chariots from the conquered northern Israelite kingdom in his army)
