0.After Am Yisrael crossed the Jordan River to enter Eretz Yisrael, the Mishkan was erected in Gilgal, where it stood during the 14 years of conquest and division of the Land

Afterwards, the Mishkan was built in Shilo where it stood for 369 years. Unlike the Mishkan of the wilderness and of Gilgal, the Mishkan in Shilo was a stone structure without a roof, which was covered by the yeriot (curtains) which are described in Parashat Terumah.0

Tel Shilo was first excavated more than a century ago, and the excavations have been renewed and are ongoing. At the northern end of the Tel, there is a flat area carved out of the rock, whose dimensions accomodate the Mishkan and its courtyard, and is therefore assumed to be the actual site of the Mishkan.0.
