The glass finds from Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street comprise two principal groups: three intact candlestick bottles found in a Roman-period grave, and four Crusader-period colorless glass fragments found in association with Crusader-period potsherds. Three light greenish glass chunks of raw glass were also recovered; they were intended for melting in a glassmaker’s furnace.

The Crusader-period ceramic types uncovered on Me-Raguza Street comprise mostly imported glazed table wares dating to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries CE, and cooking wares. 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 Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street excavations yielded 28 fragments of imported amphorae. The unstamped fragments originated in the Northern Aegean, Chios, the Southeastern Aegean, Rhodes, Kos, Ephesos and the Levant; they range in date from the fourth century BCE to the first half of the first century CE. The stamped Rhodian amphorae range in date from c. 220 to 145/120 BCE, with some gaps.

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 …

The pottery retrieved from the excavations on Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street included sherds dated to the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods, providing testimony to the earliest urban occupation of Yafo’s Lower City. The Hellenistic assemblage consists of Fine Table Wares, almost exclusively Eastern Mediterranean imports, household and cooking wares, and local and regionally produced containers. The finds from the Early Roman period included only a handful of fragmentary vessels.

'Atiqot
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 …

Eight bronze coins were found at Pi Maẓuva, six of which were identified. Except for one, dating from the reign of Constantine I (fourth century CE), all the coins date to the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods: one half follis of Anastasius I (507–512 CE), two coins of Emperor Heraclius (629/630 CE), one Arab-Byzantine coin and an Umayyad post-reform fals, dating from the eighth century CE.

A Seventh-Century Ce Mosaic Floor At Pi Maẓuva (Hebrew, Pp. 57*–66*; English Summary, Pp. 185–187), Rina Talgam
'Atiqot
The mosaic floor uncovered at Pi Maẓuva comprises a broad border of acanthus medallions, surrounding a carpet of flower buds, with a woman’s bust depicted in its center, possibly a personification of abundance and agricultural fertility. The acanthus border is populated by floral and animal motifs, which seem to have been executed by experienced artists. Based on iconographic and stylistic considerations, the mosaic was dated to the seventh century CE, probably created after the Muslim conquest, attesting to a continuation of local Byzantine traditions throughout the seventh–eighth centuries CE. The mosaic might have adorned a room that was used for …

'Atiqot
The pottery finds retrieved from the buildings excavated at Pi Maẓuva date to the late Byzantine period and comprise local and imported vessels. The imported vessels include red-slipped bowls of ARS ware—two were adorned, one with a cross and the other, with a human figure holding a staff; CRS ware; LRC (Phocaean Red) ware—with two body fragments bearing a cross; and amphorae. The pottery from Pi Maẓuva shows a clear affinity with assemblages dated to the late Byzantine period at nearby sites in the western Galilee. The rather large quantity of imported vessels possibly suggests the existence of dwellings and …

The excavation at Pi Maẓuva revealed building complexes, some separated by an alley, dating from the Byzantine period. The finds at the site included a bronze cross, an ashlar limestone lintel with a cross engraving, and pottery dated to the sixth–seventh centuries CE, which comprised local types, alongside many imported ones, some adorned with crosses. An interesting find is a high-quality, colorful, seventh-century CE mosaic floor adorned with floral motifs, animal and human figures, and two fragmentary Greek inscriptions. The finds at the site point to the existence of a rural Christian settlement, probably destroyed during the Persian conquest of …

Eleven coins were found at Miska, five of which were identified: a bronze coin from the reign of Trebonianus Gallus (251–253 CE); two early Byzantine bronze nummi; a copper follis of the Byzantine emperor Heraclius I (610/611 CE), issued in the imperial mint of Cyzicus; and a Mamluk fals.

The site of Miska is located in the Sharon region, in the central part of the Israeli coastal plain. The region is characterized by a series of red sandy soils (ḥamra) that had developed atop stabilized sand dunes. A section cut in Area A—where a refuse pit and industrial deposits of glass manufacture were unearthed—revealed a dense accumulation of ash and evidence of an ancient active channel with a low-energy water flow regime. Yellow sandy material, apparently of natural origin, which was found at the bottom of the section, might have been exploited for the manufacturing of glass at the …

The stamped zir jar handle from Miska has two stamps on its upper side, one near the other. One of the stamps depicts a six-pointed star, surrounded by a thick bold circle, with dots between the spikes and a dot in its center; the second stamp comprises two concentric circles with a dot in the center. Stamped jar handles displaying various star designs were unearthed in the Umayyad-period pottery kilns of Nebi Samwil, located north of Jerusalem. A possible explanation for the double-stamped handles is that they represented a change in the ownership of the jar, or in the warehouse …

Large quantities of glass vessels and remains of a large-scale glass industry were retrieved in the excavation at Miska, mostly from the refuse pit in Area A. The glass assemblage mainly dates from the Late Roman and early Byzantine periods (fourth–early fifth centuries CE), showing affinities with several glass-vessel groups, all of which relate to local production centers. The glass-production remains comprised a large amount of raw glass chunks and debris from destroyed furnaces, pointing to a primary production. The remains of the glass industry add important information concerning the history of primary glass production in the region, reinforcing the …

The pottery from Miska dates mainly to the Byzantine, Early Islamic and late Ottoman periods. The refuse pit in Area A contained finds from two periods of use: Late Roman and early Byzantine, and late Byzantine and Early Islamic. Lamps dating from these periods are presented as well; they belong mostly to three major types: ovoid lamps with a large filling hole, and Samaritan Lamp Types 1 and 2. The late Ottoman period is represented mainly by Black Gaza Ware, Turkish smoking pipes and Marseille roof tiles. The rare presence of imported vessel types in all the assemblages points to …

'Atiqot
Excavations at Tel Qana, situated in the Naḥal Ha-Yarqon basin, revealed a Middle Bronze Age II occupation horizon, a cist grave dating to Late Bronze Age II and two winepresses dating from Iron Age II. The present report focuses on the large LB II cist grave, which contained the remains of a primary burial of a single individual, probably male, who was interred with several ceramic vessels and three metal weapons. The cist’s walls and floor were uniquely plastered with thick layers of high quality, waterproof white lime plaster. This burial seems to indicate a shift from multiple cave burials …
