Abstract
This study focuses on Gal Yithro, a unique site located in the upper Galilee, Israel. The main feature of the site is a monumental lunate-shaped rujum/cairn, which was dated to the Early Bronze Age. The aim of this paper is to situate the site in its cultural and social context, emphasizing its unique nature. Our findings suggest that Gal Yithro was a prominent landmark within its natural landscape, serving to mark possession and to assert authority and rights over natural resources.
