On the Hermon there are remains of more than 40 settlements, most of which were probably seasonal ones and a small part of them – permanent ones from the times of the Itureans (2nd century BC – 1st century AD). The archaeological finds indicate that there were settlements here during the Mishnaic and Talmudic periods (1st – 6th centuries AD). The Site of the Covenant was built around the 16th century. On Squirrel Mountain, a few ritualistic compounds were found.
