Excavation at the site, located within the modern city of Rehovot, uncovered two occupation levels: from the Hellenistic and Roman periods (Stratum 1) and from the Early Islamic period (Stratum 2). The earlier stratum included the remains of a tomb hewn in kurkar. The later stratum included four architectural phases (I–IV) of a building that was constructed in the eighth century and continued to exist until the mid-ninth century CE. The finds within the building included pottery and glass vessels, metal artifacts, coins and two pieces of cotton textile. A gemstone, depicting the god Zeus and dating to the …

The pottery from the cave, comprising bowls, platters, jugs/cups, jars, pithoi and an amphoriskos, was mostly eroded. The flint assemblage included 198 artifacts: the debitage was dominated by primary elements and flakes; the debris comprised local large chunks. Among the tools were Canaanean blades. A single copper dagger was also found in the cave. The finds from the cave date from Early Bronze AgeI to Early Bronze AgeIV and are characteristic of the central and southern regions of the country.

Ḥorbat Barfiliya is one of the principle sites in the Modi‘in region. Surveys and salvage excavations conducted in the area revealed its agricultural nature. Two systems of irrigation were exposed; both seem to have been part of an organized initiative to establish a long-term farming enterprise. The meager pottery finds attest that the systems already existed during the later part of the Byzantine period. The rocky hills in the area were exploited for various installations, including winepresses. These operated from the end of the Hellenistic to the Ottoman periods. A cave (39C), which was first used for dwelling during the …

'Atiqot
Excavations at Khirbat el-Ni‘ana uncovered large quantities of glass vessels in a fairly good state of preservation and remains of production debris. The number of vessels, the various shapes and the quality of their fabric suggest that they are the products of a local workshop. Some of the vessel types were widespread throughout the Mediterranean Basin during the fourth–fifth centuries CE and were produced in many local workshops; thus, they are considered a widespread trend. Other vessel types appear mostly in sites in Israel and are less frequent in neighboring countries. They are absent from European assemblages.

Excavations at Khirbat el-Ni‘ana yielded some 110 mold-made clay oil lamps, most of which were discovered in or around Tomb I. These lamps, spanning the time from the Late Roman, Byzantine and Early Islamic periods, are typologically related to products of workshops that operated in the Judean Shephelah region. The lamp assemblage includes local Khirbat el-Ni‘ana-type lamps that have heretofar not been found outside of this site.

The pottery assemblage from Khirbat el-Ni‘ana is presented in two groups: waste from the Byzantine period (fourth–seventh centuries CE) and pottery from the Mamluk period. The earlier group, locally produced, including many types of basins, cooking pots and storage jars, and a substantial number of jugs and juglets, possibly manufactured in or around Jerusalem. The later group comprises material characteristic of the region, including handmade, as well as wheel-made pottery. Some of the vessels bear typical painted geometric designs.

Two areas were excavated along the eastern fringes of Khirbat el-Ni‘ana, revealing built tombs with vaulted roofs, refuse from glass and pottery workshops and temporary hearths. The built tombs are characteristic of the southern coastal plain during the fourth century CE. The findings point to the area’s function as both a cemetery and an industrial zone—both functions were traditionally situated on the outskirts of settlements for reasons of health and environmental considerations. The settlement might have been populated by Samaritans. After a gap in time, the site was resettled during the Mamluk and Ottoman periods.

A salvage excavation conducted south of the central bus station in ‘Akko uncovered a Hellenistic-period pit. The fill in the pit contained a large quantity of potsherds, including 21 stamped amphora handles and 3 terracotta figurines. The stamped handles belong to the Rhodian class, dating from the end of the third quarter of the third century until the third quarter of the second century BCE. The terracotta figurines are made of well-levigated clay, bearing white slip and traces of black and brown paint. They represent a bird/dove, a female human and a horse-and-rider. The figurines belong to the Western Greek …

Juan Sánchez Cotán’S Still Lifes And Artistic Ingenio In Early Modern Toledo, Carmen Ripollés
Schnitzer School of Art + Art History + Design Faculty Publications and Presentations
This essay brings new light on the creation and early reception of the still lifes of the Toledan painter Juan Sánchez Cotán. It focuses on Cotán’s friendship with and professional relationship to the metalworker Diego de Valdivieso and the manuscript illuminator Juan de Salazar, both of whom are recorded as being among the first owners of his still lifes. An analysis of these artists’ works vis-j-vis Cotán’s still lifes reveals similar technical and conceptual concerns, as well as a shared will to elevate their crafts to demonstrate ingenio. This analysis therefore places Cotán’s still lifes in the context of artistic …

The bones retrieved from the Early Islamic building at ‘En Marzev were in a good state of preservation. The most abundant animal in the sample is the gazelle, followed by the horse, with a remarkably smaller amount of domesticated animals, such as sheep, goat and cattle. It seems that gazelles formed a main dietary component at this settlement, indicating that hunting played an important role there.

The lead object found in the excavations at ‘En Marzev is roughly cylindrical, with a flat top and bottom. It has a semicircular, copper or bronze hoop on top. The purpose of this object is hard to ascertain as its weight does not relate to any ancient Eastern Mediterranean weight system, and its form does not correspond to the usual form of ancient weights. It may have served as a weight for a variety of uses, e.g., on fishing lines and nets, or on looms.

Excavations east of Moshav Ge’alya uncovered a cemetery and a habitation site dating to the Mamluk period. Within the cemetery, four types of burial tombs, oriented in a general west–east axis with the deceased facing Mecca, were found. These were individual cist burials, which were covered with ceramic vessels that were used in place of covering slabs. The covering vessels belong to three well-known, Mamluk-period ceramic types (mid-thirteenth–early sixteenth centuries CE): bag-shaped jars, water lifting devices (antiliya) and beehive containers. Other finds include meager glass finds, coins, iron horseshoes, square-sectioned iron nails, a bronze arrowhead, jewelry, spatulas, a buckle and …

The glass finds retrieved from Danny Mass Street, Ramla include common tablewares, luxury vessels and a mosaic-glass eye bead. They form a diagnostic assemblage spanning the late eighth–early eleventh centuries CE. This assemblage provides a new insight into the glass assemblage of the city during the Abbasid and Fatimid periods. The uniformity of fabric within the assemblage suggests that many of the vessels may have been produced in the same workshop.
