An Israeli Tel may have many diff. cities inside them.  How did the layers 
of dirt between the cities get there?  Was it natural or man placed?  What 
areas did it (the dirt) come from?  Why aren't other areas surounding the 
Tels buried (like the Standing Stones)?  Why don't the Tels just erode 
away?  Who put the last layer of top soil on them?  What is the time span 
between civilizations typically?
