Khirbet el-Maqatir sits southeast of the Arab village of Beitin (Bethel?). Excavations conducted at the site between the years 1995-2017, led by Bryant G. Wood and Scott Stripling, revealed the remains of a rural Jewish settlement from the Second Temple period. Among the remains, beneath the settlement area, is the first hiding complex excavated in the highlands north of Jerusalem. The finds from the hiding complex reflect the devastation suffered by the local inhabitants in the two revolts against Rome. The finds from the First Jewish Revolt in the system are consistent with the results of the excavation on the surface and indicate the destruction of the settlement in the third year of the First Jewish Revolt. The hiding system was also used in the Bar-Kokhba Revolt, but the existence of a settlement at the site during the period between the two revolts remains uncertain. This information supplements the results of excavations and surveys conducted at sites and refuge caves in the Bethel Hills that indicate the presence of a Jewish population in the region after the First Jewish Revolt and through the end of the Bar-Kokhba Revolt.
