Histoire
Khirbet el-Hammam is an archaeological site in the northwestern Samarian hills, in the modern-day West Bank. The tell preserves the remains of a fortified town occupied from the Iron Age until the early Roman period. Its excavator, archaeologist Adam Zertal, identified the site with two settlements known from ancient texts: the biblical town of Arubboth, named in the Books of Kings as the seat of an administrative district under Solomon, and Narbata, a Jewish town that figures in Josephus's book, The Jewish War.
