The Ceramic Assemblage From Kefar Gabirol, El-Qubeibe (Pp. 171–198), Anna De Vincenz
'Atiqot
The ceramics retrieved from the excavations conducted at Kefar Gabirol, el-Qubeibe, originated mostly from accumulations above walls and within installations. They were dated based on typological considerations to the late Ottoman period, with some types continuing into the early twentieth century. The assemblage includes hard-paste and porcelain vessels, as well as glazed earthenware and coarse ware vessels, such as Black Gaza Ware. This article adds valuable data concerning the typology and dating of Ottoman-period pottery.

'Atiqot
This article presents a study of the Mamluk–early Ottoman-period ceramic assemblage from the excavation on Ha-Eẓel Street, Ramla. The study set out to determine the geological source of the raw materials, and to explore fabrics and forms of local and imported wares to pinpoint the production locale of each. For the imports, the tracing of the fabric composition was based on previously published production centers. This study is a pioneer effort to fill the gap regarding the forms and fabrics of the pottery of these periods, whether found in clear architectural contexts, or not.

The excavation at Kefar Gabirol revealed the remains of the Arab village el-Qubeibe, dating from the Ottoman period and the days of the British Mandate. Four adjacent architectural units were exposed, mostly preserved to their foundation course. The finds include local and imported pottery vessels, glass vessels, stone objects, metal finds, coins, animal bones and military artifacts. The proximity of the architectural units points to a dense rural settlement, and the various installations are domestic in nature.

An isolated find of a stamped amphora handle was found at Rosh Pinna. It exhibits a rare presence of an anchor naming an eponym, and as such, offers rare evidence of a hitherto unpublished association of an eponym with a particular fabricant of amphoras.

Remains From The Byzantine To The Late Ottoman–British Mandate Periods At Mazor (Pp. 67–123), Itamar Taxel, David Amit
'Atiqot
The excavations at Mazor yielded architectural remains from the Byzantine and late Ottoman–British Mandate periods, and poor remains from the Early Islamic and Mamluk–early Ottoman periods; the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods are represented by small finds only. Three buildings were exposed, typical of the Byzantine period in the region (mid-fifth–early sixth centuries CE), which belonged to either a private estate or an agricultural monastery. The settlement probably formed part of the eastern hinterland of the urban center at Lod (Lydda/Diospolis). The next substantial phase at the site began in the Ottoman period (eighteenth century CE), with the establishment of …

Petrographic Examination Of Plaster Samples From The Iron Age Site At Rosh Pinna (Ja‘Una) (Pp. 59–62), Anastasia Shapiro
'Atiqot
This article presents a study of five plaster samples coated with coloring material, which were unearthed in Iron I–IIA destruction layers at Rosh Pinna. The main aim of the examination was to determine the mineralogical composition of the plaster and to obtain information concerning technological aspects of how the plaster had been prepared. The petrographic examination of the plaster samples provides valuable information concerning the quality of materials and the technology used to coat the inner walls of Iron Age buildings.

'Atiqot
Excavations on the ancient tell of Rosh Pinna revealed a vigorous settlement during the Iron Age and throughout the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and possibly the Early Islamic periods. In Iron I, Rosh Pinna seems to have been a substantial settlement in the eastern Galilee, as attested by impressive architectural remains with plastered and red-painted walls. During Iron II, Rosh Pinna was part of a strong Israelite settlement system. This stratum showed evidence of a violent destruction in the tenth or ninth century BCE, possibly throwing light on an event recorded in the Bible, such as the Aramean raid by Ben …

The faunal remains from the excavation at the Newe Rabin neighborhood in Or Yehuda belong to domestic animals. The limited volume of the assemblage precludes broader conclusions regarding the economic substance of animal husbandry at the site during the Late Chalcolithic period.

The groundstone finds from the excavation at the Newe Rabin neighborhood in Or Yehuda comprise nine artifacts: basalt bowls and a lower grinding slab; quartzite(?) grinding slab, handstone and pestle; and a beachrock lower grinding slab. These finds complement the finds retrieved from two other contemporary sites nearby, probably attesting to a short-lived occupation.

'Atiqot
The excavations in Or Yehuda yielded 107 flint artifacts reflecting several industries characteristic of the Late Chalcolithic period. Worth of mention is the presence of Canaanean blades, which appear to be an integral part of the Late Chalcolithic-period toolkit at the site. In addition, the results of an analysis of a stain observed on one of the sickle blades, plausibly the remains of an adhesive, are discussed.

The excavations in Or Yehuda yielded accumulations of Late Chalcolithic-period pottery, including bowls, basins, pithoi, jars, pedestalled bowls and cornets. The Chalcolithic assemblage is typical of the last quarter of the fourth millennium BCE in the southern regions of Israel. It is an important addition to the body of Late Chalcolithic-period material in the region of the Yarqon and Ayyalon basins.

A salvage excavation conducted in the Newe Rabin neighborhood of Or Yehuda revealed the remains of the Arab village of Kafr ‘Ana, which was settled between the seventeenth and the mid-twentieth century CE. The main architectural remains belong to buildings that were erected in the Late Ottoman period; considerable accumulations of finds, but no architectural remains, date from the late Chalcolithic period. The finds from the Late Ottoman period include domestic vessels, fragments of Marseilles roof tiles and several fragments of glass bracelets, as well as two unusual finds: a bronze chain with a pendant and an unusual pistol from …

The Ottoman-period pottery from the excavations in Or Yehuda originated from buildings that were dated to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The material is characteristic of a rural site and includes household vessels for storage, cooking and serving. Very few imported vessels were found, supporting the rural character of the site. Roof tiles—both locally made and imported—a fragment of a smoking pipe and a fragment of a glazed imported plate were also found.

During the salvage excavation on Yehuda Ha-Yammit Street, Yafo, 150 glass vessels and fragments were found. The diagnostic vessels dated mainly to the Crusader period and the modern era. Vessels from the modern era were found in large quantities and included many bottle fragments, window fragments and small fragments of bracelets. Of the bottles, one is an old Bovril bottle, and the other, bearing an inscription in Hebrew and a small Star of David, was probably locally produced and served as a container for a carbonated beverage (gazoz).

Eight coins were found in the excavations on Yehuda Ha-Yammit Street in Yafo, four of which were identified. The coins range in date from the Byzantine period (beginning of the fourth century CE) to the mid-thirteenth century CE. Two of the later medieval-period coins are of interest: a copper tank of the Armenian ruler Levon I, minted in Sis, and the other, a fals dated to the reign of Al-Naṣir Yusuf II, the Ayyubid ruler of Damascus in the mid-thirteenth century CE.

The excavation conducted on Yehuda Ha-Yammit Street in Yafo revealed the remains of three strata: graves from the Persian and Hellenistic periods; a Crusader-period moat; and late Ottoman-period wells. The moat, dated to the end of the Crusader period (thirteenth century CE), was hewn in the kurkar rock and lined with retaining walls. The finds retrieved from within the moat fill included potsherds and glass finds dated to the Crusader period. An Ayyubid coin of Al-Naṣir Yusuf II, found in a probe next to the moat’s southern wall, probably attests that the moat was destructed during Baybars’ conquest of Yafo …
