In another article on this find, it is stated that the entire site will soon be paved over as part of an enormous vehicle interchange.

They'd better get a move on then.

Thanks, and glad I looked for more -- that is pretty cool:

IAA archaeologists also discovered an earlier, 7,000-year-old Chalcolithic settlement under several of the 5,000-year-old structures... Salvage excavations have been taking place at the site for the past two and a half years, financed by Netivei Israel – the National Transport Infrastructure Company Ltd. Over 5,000 high school students and volunteers from the area have participated in them. Due to the importance of the site, Netivei Israel has significantly increased the height of the planned interchange and will preserve the excavations through high-tech documentation and physical conservation.

...megalopolis may rewrite history. Uncovered in northern Israel, Ein Esur, largest Early Bronze Age settlement ever excavated here...
