The Mound Detail

View looking east at the western slope of Tel Lachish.

The stone structure on the left (north) side of the image is where Starkey constructed ramp for his dump.  Below it to the right, in the center of the image, is a cut in the side of the mound where Starkey discovered three superimposed Late Bronze Age (1500–1200 B.C.) Canaanite Temples.
