Yigal Yadin launched an archaeological expedition to Hazor in the mid-1950s. In northern Israel, Tel Hazor is the largest archaeological site, with the upper tell covering ca. 30 acres while the lower city covers more than 175 acres. In 2005, Hazor was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the “Biblical Tels - Megiddo, Hazor, Beer Sheba”.
