    A tel or tell is a hill or mound created when a human city or town exists in the same place for centuries or millenia. It is formed from trash, rubble, old buildings, and accumulated detritus. Over long periods of time so much crap accumulates that an actual hill forms. As old buildings are replaced they are built on top of the previous generation of buildings, and so forth. Eventually a noticeable tel forms.
