As Mosaic Magazine put it in their teaser (no link, because I am including
in full):
    Altar Horns, Ceramic Pomegranates, and Other Evidence of the Ancient
    Jewish Sanctuary at Shiloh
    Jan. 17 2020

    According to the Bible, the Tabernacle -- the portable shrine
    constructed by Moses that served as the precursor to the First Temple
    -- was placed in the city of Shiloh, and remained there for most of
    the time before the establishment of the monarchy. The archaeologist
    Scott Stripling has spent several years excavating Shiloh and has
    found evidence suggesting that the city was indeed a center of
    Israelite worship, including what appear to be the "horns" (square
    protrusions) of an altar and ceramic pomegranates. He discusses his
    findings and methods in conversation with Amanda Borschel-Dan. (Audio,
    33 minutes. Text is available at the link below.)
