Three fragments of a jug bearing traces of an Arabic inscription were recovered from the French Hospital Compound. Based on the script, the vessel dates to the late ninth–early tenth centuries CE. The inscription seems to imply that the jug had contained medicine, probably purchased from the pharmacy in powdered form as a remedy for headache, indigestion or shivers accompanying a fever.

The excavations within the French Hospital Compound revealed pottery and stone finds originating in burials dating to the Persian, Roman and Byzantine periods. The Persian-period (mid-fifth to mid/late fourth century BCE) burial goods comprised mainly perfume containers (juglets and bottles) and storage vessels (local and imported amphorae), in accordance with the burial customs practiced in contemporary burials along the coastal plain of Israel, mainly inhabited by Phoenicians. The finds from the Roman period (early second to the fourth or early fifth century CE) present a wide range of pottery types, including imported table wares, amphorae, large bowls, mortaria, diverse types …

Excavations within the French Hospital Compound provided a large quantity of both complete and fragmentary oil lamps dating from the Byzantine period (fifth–seventh centuries CE) and an additional group of lamps dating from the Early Islamic period (Abbasid period; eighth–tenth centuries CE). The Byzantine-period oil lamps included local, regional and imported types. The largest group of Byzantine-period oil lamps belong to Caesarea Type 1 (archetype and two variants) and are decorated with diverse patterns. The second-most common group of Byzantine-period oil lamps is the Candlestick type. The rich variety of both regional and imported oil lamps reflects the role of …

'Atiqot
Excavations in the French Hospital compound uncovered built tombs and burial caves, architectural remains, built installations and rock cuttings from the Persian, Late Roman, Byzantine, Abbasid and Crusader periods. The Persian-period burial caves were hewn in the kurkar bedrock, with vertical shaft entrances. Intact pottery vessels comprised mainly juglets and oil lamps dating from the mid-fifth to the mid-fourth century BCE. Burial in the Persian period was apparently familial, and the burial practices resemble those observed in the Phoenician burials located along the Israeli coast. Remains dating from the Late Roman period consist of a rock-cut tomb, an installation and …

Twelve intact and fragmentary cannon balls were discovered in the excavation on Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street, representing a wide range of guns, from small to very large types, and dating from the post-Napoleonic era (first half of the nineteenth century). This assemblage seems to be indicative of guns that belonged to the Ottoman army, which is known to have purchased artillery from a wide variety of sources, including some of domestic production and military booty. This findspot, which was apparently bombarded from the fort, would have been an excellent spot for setting up besieging forces.

The pottery types are presented according to production regions, arranged in geographical order and based primarily on the existing Crusader-period pottery typologies from ‘Akko. The local types described in this study may have been produced in ‘Akko and Beirut and brought to Yafo by sea.

The excavations on Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street yielded mostly Ottoman-period material, alongside a fair amount of Byzantine-period ceramics. The finds from the Byzantine period (sixth–eighth centuries CE) include imported vessels from North Africa, Phocaea and Cyprus, and locally produced basins and storage jars. The late Ottoman-period material is varied and includes both imported and local wares—porcelain, hard-paste, glazed earthenware, Black Gaza Ware and Coarse Ware—as well as construction material such as roof tiles, floor tiles and bricks. The Ottoman-period material was imported from Turkey and Greece, as well as from Italy and France. Hard-paste and porcelain vessels were usually imported …

Eight excavation areas (A–G, J) were exposed, revealing seven strata dating from Middle Bronze Age II to the days of the British Mandate. The earliest find is an MB IIA infant jar burial—a significant find outside the boundaries of Tel Yafo. Burial graves from the Hellenistic, Roman and Crusader periods confirm that this street marked Yafo’s eastern limits in those times. The Hellenistic presence, probably under Ptolemaic rule, included scattered dwellings and farms with associated pottery dating from the late fourth to the second century BCE. The finds from the Byzantine period include a structure and pottery, reflecting a significant …
