Tell Fadous-Kfarabida is located on the coast of Lebanon, 2 km south of the modern town of Batroun. It was accidentally discovered in the spring of 2004 after bulldozing operations undertaken by the landowners had created several huge sections, through which architectural structures and artifacts became exposed. In 2004 and 2005 a team from the Department of History and Archaeology of the American University of Beirut, led by H. Sader and H. Genz documented two of the large sections. The material retrieved predominantly dated to the Early Bronze Age II–III periods. From 2007 onwards rescue excavations were undertaken at the site, again directed by H. Sader and H. Genz. In addition to an excellently preserved Early Bronze Age settlement, these revealed less substantial of traces dating to the Middle Bronze Age on top.*
