Tell Afis is a site documenting many phases tracing a long history of urban development, from the Late Chalcolithic (4th mill. B.C.) to the Iron Age (1st mill. B.C.).

The Afis project is supported by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (DGSP VI), the Fondazione OrMe Oriente Mediterraneo, and the University of Florence.

The Afis project involved excavations on the site of Tell Afis, surface prospecting and plotting of the surrounding area, and the study and documentation of the finds.
