Study Notes
Tel Afek is an archaeological site in Israel, located in the Ein Afek Nature Reserve. It has remains dating back to the Chalcolithic age. The site was part of Cabul and was given to Hiram I by Solomon as a reward for building the First Temple. Pottery from the Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine eras were found here. In the Crusader era, it was known as Recordane, and in 1154, the mill and village were acquired by the Hospitalliers. Two aqueducts have been excavated. It was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517 and was named Kufrdani in the census of 1596. The area was acquired by the Jewish community under the Sursock Purchase. In 1925 a Zionist organisation purchased 1,500 dunums in Kordaneh.
