Tell Abu Hawam is the site of a small city established in the Late Bronze Age (circa 1600 BCE) in the area of modern-day Haifa, Israel. It was known to the Crusaders as (Ancient Haifa) and (Old Haifa).
It existed as a port city and a fishing village, and was moved in the late 11th century to the site which became known as Haifa el-Atika.
The site was excavated by a British expedition from 1929 to 1933.
During the 1929-1933 British excavations, a black-glazed bowl of the "fish-plate" type was uncovered, featuring a Phoenician graffito scratched on its underside. It is suggested that the bowl may originate from the 4th or 3rd century BCE.
