Akhziv is located on the northern coast of Israel. The town was established during the Canaanite period (18th century BC) using its natural fortification for its advantage. It was considered a major port city, being one of the stops on the Sea Route. Most traces found in the area are of an abandoned Arab village and of the Crusader Castle that was once here. A few graveyards around Akhziv were excavated, revealing many findings.
