Schumacher’s Excavations
The first excavations at Tel Megiddo were directed by Gottlieb Schumacher on behalf of the Deutscher Palästina-Verein between 1903 and 1905. After excavating the Tempelburg (’temple-fortress’) in the eastern section of the mound, Schumacher dug a 25 m wide trench running north to south across the mound. The remains of several monumental buildings, as well as burial chambers vaulted in fine-stone corbelling were exposed in the trench.
