The Pottery Neolithic Settlement At Tel Yosef (Tell Esh-Sheikh Ḥasan) (Pp. 1–27), Karen Covello-Paran
The Pottery Neolithic Settlement At Tel Yosef (Tell Esh-Sheikh Ḥasan) (Pp. 1–27), Karen Covello-Paran
'Atiqot
The Neolithic site of Tel Yosef, located at the foot of the Gilbo‘a Mountains, is an important addition to the densely populated Harod and Bet She’an Valleys during the Pottery Neolithic period. Three strata were excavated and assigned to the PPNC/Early Pottery Neolithic (Stratum III), Early Pottery Neolithic (Stratum II) and Late Pottery Neolithic (Stratum I) periods. In Stratum III, both rectilinear and curvilinear buildings were found, whereas in Stratum II, the buildings were exclusively rectilinear. The architectural remains in Strata III and II are evidence of site organization and village planning. The site was abandoned in the late fifth …

The Coins From Khirbat Burin (Pp. 245–250), Donald T. Ariel, Ariel Berman
'Atiqot
The coins found at Khirbat Burin range in date from the Seleucid through the Mamlūk periods. The excavations yielded coins of the Byzantine (sixth–seventh centuries CE) and Early Islamic (eighth–twelfth centuries CE) periods, which heretofore have not been documented at the site.

The excavations at Ḥorbat Nevallaṭ yielded charred pieces of wood and carbonized olive stones, which were derived from two tree species: Olea europaea and Quercus calliprinos. AMS analysis indicated that the olive stones date to the Chalcolithic period. The stones’ dimensions are similar to those of olive stones found at contemporary sites, attesting that stone size is a valid metric for identification of cultivated trees.

'Atiqot
Three metal weights retrieved from Khirbat Burin were used with small balances, either simple or folding. Weight No. 1 is a cubical iron weight, ranging in date from the late Fatimid to the Mamluk periods, and even as late as the nineteenth century CE. Weight Nos. 2 (a polyhedral) and 3 are made of bronze and were probably used for measuring coins during the Mamluk period.

'Atiqot
The excavations at Khirbat Burin exposed a large complex of medieval buildings (Strata I–II), as well as fills with mixed materials, mostly dating to the late Byzantine–Early Islamic periods (Stratum III). Three building phases were observed in the building complex of Stratum II (a–c). The complex was probably established during the Crusader period (mid-twelfth–early thirteenth centuries CE; Stratum IIa), before the area was conquered by Baybars I in 1265 CE. The ethnicity of the dwellers in not clear; they might have been either Muslims or Franks. The Strata IIb–c horizon dates to the Mamluk period (late thirteenth–fourteenth centuries CE). The …

'Atiqot
The glass vessels from Khirbat Burin are mainly dated to the Mamluk period. The pre-Mamluk glass vessels are common types of the Late Roman, Byzantine and Early Islamic periods, known from other sites in the region. Meager diagnostic remains of a glass industry were found at the site as well, including glass debris and small chunks of raw glass, probably dating to the Late Roman and early Byzantine periods. The well-dated group of Mamluk vessels is rather heterogeneous, presenting a wide range of vessel types, including decorated vessels with marvered trails and a vessel with remains of enamel painting. The …
Petrographic Results Of Selected Chalcolithic Pottery Vessels From Ḥorbat Nevallaṭ (Pp. 137–140), Anat Cohen-Weinberger
Petrographic Results Of Selected Chalcolithic Pottery Vessels From Ḥorbat Nevallaṭ (Pp. 137–140), Anat Cohen-Weinberger
'Atiqot
Multiple vessel types were analyzed petrographically, including bowls, cornets, pithoi and jars. The analyzed pottery was arranged into three petrographic groups: Group A, of local clay, comprised most of the assemblage; one jar was made of marl of the nearby Moẓa Formation (Group B); and one holemouth jar was identified as the Moẓa Formation clay member (Group C). The petrographic data widens our understanding of cultural interconnections and exchange patterns during the Chalcolithic period.
Variability Of The Ground Stone Artifacts From Ḥorbat Nevallaṭ (Pp. 107–130), Yorke M. Rowan
Variability Of The Ground Stone Artifacts From Ḥorbat Nevallaṭ (Pp. 107–130), Yorke M. Rowan
'Atiqot
A total of 120 ground stone artifacts were recovered from the excavations at Ḥorbat Nevallaṭ. They represent an atypical group, presumably reflecting the distinct activities carried out in the different areas at the site. Many hammerstones were found in relation to rock-cut cupmarks, which are thought to have been used for the processing of agricultural products. Many basalt vessels were retrieved as well, including fenestrated stands and fine bowls, some exhibiting exterior decoration. The quality and quantity of the Ḥorbat Nevallaṭ assemblage suggests that the site’s inhabitants participated in networks distributing prestige objects, such as the basalt bowls; alternatively, stone …

A total of 3720 flint artifacts were collected, including waste products, characteristic of on-site flint-tool production. The Chalcolithic chipped stone assemblage from Ḥorbat Nevallaṭ is domestic in function and comprises a wide repertoire of types, among them some Chalcolithic-period hallmarks, typical of the Ghassul-Be’er Sheva‘ cultures. The finds from Nevallaṭ are a valuable addition to the regional corpus of the Judean Hills and the Shephelah.

'Atiqot
Excavations at the site revealed the remains of a Chalcolithic broadroom building and adjacent activity areas, which were used for processing agricultural produce and the storing thereof. Two karstic caves were used intermittently during the Chalcolithic period and Early Bronze Age I for domestic and burial purposes. Also uncovered was a single shaft tomb, dating from the Intermediate Bronze Age, various rock-cut installations and three limekilns. The Chalcolithic habitation remains date from around 4000 BCE, based on two calibrated Carbon-14 readings of carbonized olive stones. Finds recovered from the surface and in unassociated contexts point to sporadic occupation at this …

Ramla, The Pool Of The Arches: New Evidence For The Water Inlet Into The Pool (Pp. 125–161), Ron Toueg, Yael D. Arnon
'Atiqot
The Pool of the Arches in Ramla has been studied architecturally and historically, but never tested archaeologically. Large-scale conservation works at the site offered a rare opportunity for an archaeological examination. Two areas were opened with the aim of revealing the water inlet into the pool and to resolve the reason for the construction of the pool at this location. Based on pottery finds, it seems that the pool ceased to be used during the Tulunid regime, in the late ninth or the beginning of the tenth century CE. This dating matches the date in which the Umayyad aqueduct ceased …

Late Byzantine And Early Islamic Bathhouse Remains And Vestiges Of Earlier Periods At Azor (With A Contribution By Raz Kletter) (Pp. 73–124), Edwin C.M. Van Den Brink, Lev Kapitaikin, Yehudah Rapuano
'Atiqot
Excavations at Azor revealed architectural remains of a bathhouse that functioned over a long timespan, extending from the late Byzantine (fifth–first third of the seventh centuries CE) to the Early Islamic (ninth century CE) periods. The finds include plastered and tiled walls, hypocaust remains, cement water conduits, segments of clay pipes and ceramic tiles. These bathhouse remains are an important addition to the few known ancient bathhouses within the greater Tel Aviv area from this period. Sporadic finds recovered from fills point to the likely presence of a late EB I settlement and an Iron I–II occupation, including two cult …
Ḥorbat Basha: A Roman–Byzantine-Period Site In The Hinterland Of Ashqelon (Hebrew, Pp. 25*–69*; English Summary, Pp. 166–168), Ilan Peretz
'Atiqot
The salvage excavation conducted at Ḥorbat Basha exposed traces of a building, walls, floors and habitation levels from the Roman period (second–late third/early fourth centuries CE), as well as two phases of a simple and complex winepress with secondary surfaces, dating to the Late Roman–Byzantine periods (late third/early fourth–sixth centuries CE). The finds include potsherds, glass fragments and coins. The site is part of an array of settlements in Ashqelon’s agricultural hinterland, whose occupants evidently produced wine. Ḥorbat Basha underwent abandonment and destruction during the late Byzantine period, probably following a local large-scale disaster, such as a plague in the …

The Coins From Ḥorbat Basha (Pp. 65–71), Gabriela Bijovsky
'Atiqot
The excavations at Ḥorbat Basha yielded 53 coins, 24 of which were identified. All the coins are bronze, except for a silver fraction of a dirham. The bulk of the numismatic evidence comprises Late Roman minimi, dating from the first quarter of the fourth century until the mid-fifth century CE; five were discovered at the bottom of a collecting vat of a winepress. The absence of sixth-century CE coins at the site stands in contrast to the abundance of pottery and glass vessels from this period—a phenomenon previously recorded at other sites in the region.
The Inscriptions On The Milestones From The Bet Neṭofa Valley (Pp. 61–64), Benjamin Isaac
The Inscriptions On The Milestones From The Bet Neṭofa Valley (Pp. 61–64), Benjamin Isaac
'Atiqot
Three milestones, inscribed in Latin, were found in the excavations in the Bet Neṭofa Valley. Two milestones are attributed the reign of Hadrian, one is dated to the beginning of his reign, in 120 CE, and the other, to his visit to the region in 130 CE. The third milestone dates to the days of Constantine the Great and his sons, between 333 and 337 CE. These milestones are important evidence of the earliest and latest recorded stages of systematic road-planning in Judea-Palestina.
A Milestone Station In The Bet Neṭofa Valley, North Of Ẓippori, And Its Place In The Roman Imperial Road System In The Galilee (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–24*; English Summary, Pp. 163–165), Yotam Tepper
'Atiqot
A salvage excavation in the western Bet Neṭofa Valley exposed a square foundation, three large stone bases and three milestones. The three milestones are inscribed in Latin and seem to have been erected along a road that ran from north to south in two main phases: during the days of Hadrian (120 CE and 130 CE), and later, during the reign of Constantine (333–337 CE). The stone-built foundation dates to the fourth century CE. One of its stones bore a worn relief of an animal, probably a lion in profile. Its location beside the road suggests that it was a …

Five Incised Stone Slabs From Maresha (Pp. 45–60), Yael Young
'Atiqot
A group of five fragmentary stone slabs, each bearing incised or engraved figures, was unearthed within Subterranean Complex 57 at Maresha in the Judean Shephelah. The incisions belong to two categories based on their composition: arbitrary (i.e., graffito art) or planned. It is difficult to attribute graffito-art to a specific period on stylistic grounds alone; however, based on comparisons with graffito art previously documented at the site and its vicinity, the slabs probably date to the Hellenistic period (third or second centuries BCE).

Burial Caves From The Intermediate Bronze, Middle Bronze And Iron Ages At Nazareth (Pp. 1–44), Yardenna Alexandre
'Atiqot
Four partially preserved burial caves (A–D) were excavated near the Church of the Annunciation in the center of Nazareth. All the caves comprised a vertical shaft and a central burial chamber, hewn in the Intermediate Bronze Age and reused in the transitional Middle Bronze Age I–II. Cave D was reused in the Iron Age after a long chronological gap. The burial caves contained large quantities of pottery, some metal artifacts and a few other small finds.

Tiberias, Aviv Hotel: Domestic And Industrial Pottery From The Abbasid And Crusader Periods (Pp. 193–216), Edna J. Stern
'Atiqot
This article presents the pottery from the Abbasid and Crusader periods uncovered in Area B of the Aviv Hotel excavations in Tiberias. The site is situated within the precincts of the Abbasid town, but outside the walled city of the Crusader period. The Abbasid-period assemblage consists mainly of types well-known in Tiberias, reinforcing other evidence concerning pottery production in Tiberias during this period. The pottery from the Crusader period (mid-twelfth–early thirteenth centuries CE) includes glazed bowls from the Aegean region, and possibly cooking ware and glazed bowls from Beirut. Among the imported glazed bowls are two examples of broad-incised sgraffito, …

A Greek Curse Tablet From The Eastern Circus At Caesarea Maritima (Pp. 167–174), Robert Daniel, Yosef Porath
'Atiqot
Excavations along the spina of the Eastern Circus at Caesarea revealed six folded lead tablets: five near the meta prima, one near the fallen obelisk and one west of the meta prima, nailed down to the arena surface by a long iron nail. Tablet No. 3 bears a Greek inscription, comprising a curse directed against unnamed charioteers who would compete against a charioteer named Domninus and his horses. The curse tablet was found close to one of the circus’s turning-posts, where it would have been most efficacious.

In the center of the Eastern Circus at Caesarea, a fallen obelisk was found broken, in three parts. Considering its importance and special nature, it was decided to raise it on its original location. To do so, a committee of experts, including historians, archaeologists, architects, engineers and conservators, was consulted. The article illustrates the engineering plan, the decision-making processes and the outcome of the anastylosis.

An intact lamp and several lamp fragments were found within fills which were part of the Herodian city dump or were brought to the site to level the area for the erection of the circus. The oil lamps date to the Early Roman period, indicating that the construction of the Eastern Circus (Stratum III) was initiated not earlier than the beginning of the second century CE, corresponding to the date of the pottery and the coins.

Fragments of four statues were uncovered during the 2001–2004 excavations in the Eastern Circus at Caesarea. These were clearly part of the decoration scheme of the spina. Three of the fragments are of human figures—two belong to draped female figures—and the fourth is a fragment of an animal (a bull?). This article attempts to interpret each of the sculpted images within the environment of the circus. It appears that the Eastern Circus was affluently decorated, in accordance with the findings from other circuses throughout the Roman Empire.

The IAA excavations at the Eastern Circus of Caesarea were limited to two excavation areas (VI and VIa) and the anastylosis of the obelisk. Area VI was opened parallel and perpendicular to the obelisk, and Area VIa was opened 150–185 m south of the obelisk, revealing the remains of the spina, meta prima and arena floor. Four architectural strata were revealed in both areas: Stratum IV comprises pre-circus remains; Stratum III, the construction of the Eastern Circus in the second century CE until its abandonment in 640 CE; and Strata II and I attest to post-circus activity at the site, …
