HaGoshrim is located in the Hula Valley. The site was excavated in the 1970s and has been subjected to intensive surface collection in the last fifty years. During 1990s, renewed excavations on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority concentrated in the south-western margins of the site. Six levels were identified (VI–I). These were dated from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic C (Level VI) through Late Chalcolithic (Level I). Three levels (VI–IV) yielded most of the archaeological material: Level VI (PPNC); Level V (Jericho IX), and Level IV (Wadi Rabah). The Wadi Rabah remains are extensive, including artifacts that suggest connections with the northern Levant, such as obsidian, chlorite vessels, and stamp seals.
