Reconstruction of ancient Jericho as it looked around 1550 BC, just before the Bronze Age city had been destroyed.

Jericho was continually occupied into the Middle Bronze Age; it was destroyed in the Late Bronze, after which it no longer served as an urban centre. The city was surrounded by extensive defensive walls strengthened with rectangular towers, and possessed an extensive cemetery with vertical shaft-tombs and underground burial chambers; the elaborate funeral offerings in some of these may reflect the emergence of local kings.

The population was around 600-1500 in times of peace, and several thousand in times of siege.
