TEMPLE RENOVATIONS. The 12th-century BCE renovations transformed the open-air sanctuary into a walled temple, resulting in a symmetrical plan akin to Canaanite temples known from other sites. The complex’s entrance courtyard (A) was to the southwest. Beyond this was a paved entryway (B) with two side rooms (C), leading to the inner sanctuary (D).
