Modern Occupation

Ancient tells are not immune from modern settlement. Some modern villages settle around tells, such as at Tell Heshban. Other villages actually cover the top of ancient tells, such as the modern town of Madaba in Jordan.  These modern villages continue the development of the tell. Unfortunately, many modern building practices disrupt and/or destroy earlier strata of the tell.
