This is a list of archaeological sites in the Republic of Lebanon.
There are many tells in Lebanon – artificial mounds formed from the accumulated refuse of people living on the same site for hundreds or thousands of years. A classic tell looks like a low, truncated cone with sloping sidesArchaeology of Palestine, Art of Excavating a Palestinian Mound, William Foxwell Albright, 1960, p. 16 and can be up to 30 metres high. Tells are most commonly associated with the archaeology of the ancient Near East, but they are also found elsewhere, such as Central Asia, Eastern Europe, West Africa and Greece. Within the Near East, they are concentrated in less arid regions, including Upper Mesopotamia, the Southern Levant, Anatolia and Iran.
