Eric Kondratieff's Tel Dor Web Site

Also known as Tantura or Khirbet el-Burq (its Arabic names), Tel Dor is located fifteen miles south of Haifa, and just eight miles north of Caesarea; As you will see from some of the pictures on the following pages, Dor had some of the best harbor facilities available on this part of the coast in antiquity; that is, until Herod the Great built his man-made harbor at Caesarea ca. 20 B.C., from which point in time one can date the beginning of the decline of Dor's fortunes.
