The behavioral model that emerges from the spatial analysis and its architectural findings, dating to the Iron Age I at Tel Shiloh – associated with Israeli culture represents attitudes that originate in the struggle for place, relations of resistance and the material manifestations of these in spatial movement and re-constructive positioning. A prominent movement of this society is evident, which began life in temporary structures – cabins in the inner part of the city and continued in narrow strips of landscape, in the outer part of the city and residences that lean on the outer face of the wall and even hide it in relation to its surroundings. This analysis was done based on a spatial analysis based on a practice of reconstructing behavioral models called regional behavioral typo-morphology (Gat, 2013). This practice isolates mobile and stationary material categories that were discovered in the Mahrab, defining them into categories, describing and analyzing them with the help of external fields of knowledge from various fields such as sociology, anthropology and more. The main results deal with the construction of an established spatial record, which consolidates identity processes and a sense of belonging to a place. Another finding focuses on the image of space which represents a “struggle for place” and interrelationships of resistance on the one hand and a renewed – insurrectionary – only constructivist construction on the other
