Yeah, it starts back in the Neolithic and goes right up through, well, it goes almost until Alexander the Great, when he marched by, it was probably abandoned.
But then the Romans, the Romans established one of their legionnaires camps right at the base of Megiddo, right, which is being excavated even today.
So in essence, on the site and just off of it, it's from Neolithic right through Romans.

Exactly.
I mean, I always tell my students that to have a successful site in antiquity, you need food, you need water, and you need defense.

It's now about 70 feet tall because, as we'll talk about, Chicago took off the top couple of 20 feet or so.
But still, in order to get to the top of the mound to excavate, you have to walk up a 70-foot-tall mound first thing, 5 in the morning.
