In 2013 I had the pleasure of studying archaeology under Dr. Chaya Katz of the Open U, and do archaeological studies in actual sites under Dr. Amit Dagan of the Bar-Illan U. One of the sites we studied was Khirbet Qeiyafa near the the Elah Valley. On the site Dr. Yoseph Garfinkel has discovered portable temples made of clay which might represent temples which were common in Israel. If this is true, we might be looking at a prototype temple which was used as the model for the Temple of Solomon.
