Tel Rumeida (Template:Lang-he) is an archaeological tell believed to be the location of biblical Hebron.

Jewish families began settling in Tel Rumeida in 1986. Baruch Marzel, head of the Jewish National Front, lives there with his family.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.

Archaeology

The occupational sequence at Tell Rumeida is very similar to Jerusalem. During the Early Bronze III and Middle Bronze II periods, there was a fortified city at the site. No Late Bronze Age, Iron Age I or IIA cities have been found there. Above the EBIII and MBII fortified city are 8th century BCE four room houses. Fragments of jars and burnished vessels may suggest that there was a small-scale occupation.
