Tel Michal,
an archaeological site on Israel's central Mediterranean coast
MARCH 1, 2015
Tel Michal, named for Michal, daughter of King Saul.
The area appears on the maps of Survey of Western Palestine as "Dharat Makmish".
Makmish is obviously derived from Mekal.
Tel Michal is situated on a kurkar (sandstone) ridge covered with sanddunes overlooking the Herzliya Marina.
It was excavated between 1977 and 1980 by Ze'ev Herzog and James Muhly on behalf of Tel Aviv University,
yielding remains from the Middle Bronze Age to the early Arab period.
