The Flint Assemblage From Kerem Maharal (Pp. 87–92), Ofer Marder Jan 2025

The Flint Assemblage From Kerem Maharal (Pp. 87–92), Ofer Marder

'Atiqot

The excavations at Kerem Maharal yielded a collection of flint artifacts from various stratigraphic contexts. The assemblage includes tool types that point to an Epipaleolithic occupation, probably Geometric Kebaran. Although the flint tool kit is small, the assemblage contributes to our knowledge of Epipaleolithic open-air sites in the Carmel region.

The Glass Finds From Kerem Maharal (Pp. 75–83), Natalya Katsnelson Jan 2025

The Glass Finds From Kerem Maharal (Pp. 75–83), Natalya Katsnelson

'Atiqot

The glass finds from Kerem Maharal were mostly scattered throughout the site; only a few specimens came from secure contexts. Most of the datable fragments are assigned to the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods, while several fragments were retrieved from Mamluk and Ottoman/modern strata. The repertoire is limited, comprising common daily tableware and oil lamps, remains of windowpanes and glass-jewelry items. Discarded glass debris, including two small chunks of greenish blue raw glass, indicate that a glass furnace may have operated nearby, probably during the sixth–seventh centuries CE.

The Pottery Of The Islamic Periods From Kerem Maharal (Pp. 49–73), Katia Cytryn-Silverman Jan 2025

The Pottery Of The Islamic Periods From Kerem Maharal (Pp. 49–73), Katia Cytryn-Silverman

'Atiqot

The pottery assemblages from Kerem Maharal testify to a continuous settlement at the site from the Early Islamic to the late Ottoman periods, apart from a chronological gap between the late Mamluk and early Ottoman periods (fifteenth–sixteenth centuries CE). The earliest Islamic assemblage dates to the eighth century CE, and the latest assemblage was dated to the late eighteenth–early twentieth centuries CE and was related to the village of Ijzim, a settlement in the Haifa region during the late Ottoman and British Mandate periods.

Pottery Of The Persian, Hellenistic, Roman And Byzantine Periods At Kerem Maharal (Pp. 23–47), Peter Gendelman, Kareem Sa‘Id Jan 2025

Pottery Of The Persian, Hellenistic, Roman And Byzantine Periods At Kerem Maharal (Pp. 23–47), Peter Gendelman, Kareem Sa‘Id

'Atiqot

The excavations at Kerem Maharal exposed several occupation strata from the Persian to the end of the Byzantine periods (Strata XI–VII). The Persian-period assemblage (sixth–fourth centuries BCE) comprises both local and imported types, testifying to a long-lived and prosperous settlement. Most of the vessels are of the local Mount Carmel tradition; some, however, show affinities with nearby Phoenician coastal cities. The finds from the Byzantine period are limited to the end of that period, the sixth and early seventh centuries CE, possibly continuing into the early Umayyad period.

Faunal Remains From The Late Chalcolithic, Late Roman, Byzantine And Ottoman Periods At Yehud, Ashkenazi Market (Pp. 1–22), Nuha Agha Jan 2025

Faunal Remains From The Late Chalcolithic, Late Roman, Byzantine And Ottoman Periods At Yehud, Ashkenazi Market (Pp. 1–22), Nuha Agha

'Atiqot

The faunal remains from Yehud were retrieved from several contexts: Late Chalcolithic-period shafts, Roman-period kilns, Byzantine-period houses and pits, and Ottoman-period houses, refuse pits and cesspits. The faunal assemblages from all the periods comprised mainly sheep, goats and cattle. Scant remains of equids and a camel were found in the assemblages from the Roman period onward. Pig remains are absent from both the Roman- and Byzantine-period assemblages, possibly attesting that the inhabitants of the site at that time were Jewish.

'Atiqot

The pottery vessels from the Late Chalcolithic period were retrieved from two shafts that were dug in the natural ḥamra soil. These included bowls, mostly V-shaped; wheel-made cornets; pedestal bowls and goblet; open and closed kraters; holemouths; churns; an ossuary handle; and decorated fragments, some of which might be attributed to the Pottery Neolithic period. The finds attest to the last use of the shafts as refuse pits.

Remains From The Chalcolithic, Roman, Byzantine And Ottoman Periods At Yehud, Ashkenazi Market (With Contributions By Peter Gendelman, Lior Rauchberger, Donald T. Ariel)(Hebrew, Pp. 1*–42*; English Summary, Pp. 163–164), Eriola Jakoel Jan 2025

Remains From The Chalcolithic, Roman, Byzantine And Ottoman Periods At Yehud, Ashkenazi Market (With Contributions By Peter Gendelman, Lior Rauchberger, Donald T. Ariel)(Hebrew, Pp. 1*–42*; English Summary, Pp. 163–164), Eriola Jakoel

'Atiqot

The excavation conducted in the southwestern part of the city of Yehud revealed the remains of deep shafts that contained pottery vessels and flint artifacts typical of the Late Chalcolithic period; these were located on the periphery of a large settlement, whose remains were not uncovered. During the Late Roman period (second–third centuries CE), an industrial area operated at the site, mainly for the production of pottery. The pottery kilns produced household vessels, such as bowls, cooking pots, jugs and juglets. Glass finds and the remains of glass production debris in this area might point to the existence of a …

Pottery Assemblages From Ẓahal Square Tunnel, Jerusalem (Pp. 211–230), Anna De Vincenz Jan 2025

Pottery Assemblages From Ẓahal Square Tunnel, Jerusalem (Pp. 211–230), Anna De Vincenz

'Atiqot

The excavation in the Ẓahal Square Tunnel yielded ceramic material from the Byzantine–Umayyad, Mamluk and late Ottoman periods. While only a small amount of pottery was recovered, its composition closely corresponds to that of other ceramic assemblages from the same chronological phases from Jerusalem and its surroundings. Hence, these assemblages seem to be largely of local production.

Remains From The Late Byzantine, Early Islamic, Mamluk And Late Ottoman Periods In Ẓahal Square Tunnel, Jerusalem (Pp. 193–210), Shlomit Weksler-Bdolah Jan 2025

Remains From The Late Byzantine, Early Islamic, Mamluk And Late Ottoman Periods In Ẓahal Square Tunnel, Jerusalem (Pp. 193–210), Shlomit Weksler-Bdolah

'Atiqot

An excavation conducted at Ẓahal Square, outside and west of the Old City wall of Jerusalem, uncovered remains dating from the late Byzantine–Umayyad to the late Ottoman period, revealing evidence of Jerusalem’s urban expansion in different periods and its fortifications. The earliest remains are a Greek inscription, etched in bedrock during the late Byzantine–Umayyad period. Hewn walls of a deep moat and remains of a forewall from the late Early Islamic period were uncovered, allowing for a reconstruction of Jerusalem’s fortification system along the northwestern corner of the Old City. The city walls and the moat fell into disuse after …

Glass Finds From Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet (Pp. 147–162), Brigitte Ouahnouna

'Atiqot

The glass vessels retrieved during the excavations at Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet are dated mainly to the fourth century CE, except for an aryballos handle dated to the Early Roman period and a few typical Byzantine vessels, such as wineglasses and oil lamps. Three chunks of raw glass were also discovered. The quantity and quality of the glass vessels, and the similarity in their fabric and workmanship, suggest that the site served as a local production center.

Remains From Middle Bronze Age Ii And The Byzantine, Early Islamic And Ottoman Periods At Bene Beraq (With A Contribution By Maayan Shemer) (Hebrew, Pp. 33*–66*; English Summary, Pp. 241–243), Ayelet Dayan, Dor Golan, Yoav Arbel Jan 2025

Remains From Middle Bronze Age Ii And The Byzantine, Early Islamic And Ottoman Periods At Bene Beraq (With A Contribution By Maayan Shemer) (Hebrew, Pp. 33*–66*; English Summary, Pp. 241–243), Ayelet Dayan, Dor Golan, Yoav Arbel

'Atiqot

The excavation conducted at Bene Beraq yielded remains dating from Middle Bronze Age II and the Byzantine, Early Islamic and Ottoman periods. Five poorly preserved tombs and a pottery kiln were dated to the end of MB IIA–beginning of MB IIB; the kiln resembles other such installations found in the central coastal plain. It seems that the site was a small satellite site located along Naḥal Ha-Yarqon, contemporary with the large cities of Afeq-Antipatris, Yafo and Tel Gerisa. The finds from the Late Roman–Byzantine periods included many antilia vessels, pointing to the existence of an antilia well nearby. Two perpendicular …

Faunal Remains From Khirbat El-’Umdan, Bet Shemesh (Hebrew, Pp. 27*–32*; English Summary, P. 240), Nuha Agha Jan 2025

Faunal Remains From Khirbat El-’Umdan, Bet Shemesh (Hebrew, Pp. 27*–32*; English Summary, P. 240), Nuha Agha

'Atiqot

Excavations at the Chalcolithic site at Khirbat el-’Umdan yielded an assemblage of bones, teeth and horns belonging mostly to mammals: sheep, cattle and pigs. These finding are consistent with the picture that emerged from the analysis of other faunal assemblages from Ghassulian sites in the northern Negev, the coastal plain and Galilee.

'Atiqot

Six metal artifacts were recovered from the Chalcolithic site near Khirbat el-‘Umdan: four axes, a copper chunk and a broken macehead. Three of the axes and the macehead were chemically tested, allowing for a reconstruction of ancient metalwork, the materials used and the extent of trade relations during the Chalcolithic period. The chemical composition of the axes was found to be similar to that of other contemporary items, while the macehead is a copper-lead alloy, hitherto unknown in the period.

The Ottoman Building In The Boverel Quarter, ‘Akko (Pp. 187–191), Yael Alef Jan 2025

The Ottoman Building In The Boverel Quarter, ‘Akko (Pp. 187–191), Yael Alef

'Atiqot

The Ottoman (WIZO) building in the Old City of ‘Akko was documented by the author as a basis for its conservation. It is of the Central-Hall House type that developed in Lebanon from the iwan house, appearing in Palestine in the last quarter of the nineteenth century CE. Some 120 houses of this type were documented in the Old City of ‘Akko, comprising about 12% of the total number of houses in the Old City, and hence its significance in shaping the urban character of the city. No historical evidence was found for dating the WIZO House, and therefore its …

A Fishpond From The Roman And Byzantine Periods At ‘Illuṭ (Hebrew, Pp. 29*–48*; English Summary, Pp. 205–206), Edna Dalali-Amos, Yotam Tepper Jan 2025

A Fishpond From The Roman And Byzantine Periods At ‘Illuṭ (Hebrew, Pp. 29*–48*; English Summary, Pp. 205–206), Edna Dalali-Amos, Yotam Tepper

'Atiqot

The excavation in the village of ‘Illuṭ exposed an installation comprising two plastered pools, serving during three phases (A–C). In Phase B the installation was used for fish farming (piscina), as indicated by the incorporation of antilia jars and a clay pipe in one of the pool’s walls. The installation was dated to the Middle Roman period based on the pottery finds, continuing in use until the end of the Byzantine period. This fish farm attests to consumption and economic facets of the inhabitants of the site, as well as to their high technological and agricultural skills.

Three Iron Age Ceramic Assemblages From The Tel ‘Eton Cemetery (Pp. 121–139), Hayah Katz, Avraham Faust Jan 2025

Three Iron Age Ceramic Assemblages From The Tel ‘Eton Cemetery (Pp. 121–139), Hayah Katz, Avraham Faust

'Atiqot

This article presents three tomb assemblages dated to Iron Age IIA–B. The analysis of the pottery indicates that the three tombs were in use in Iron II: Tomb C2, the earliest tomb, served in Iron IIA, perhaps continuing in use in the transitional Iron IIA–B phase; Tomb A3 was used during the later stage of Iron IIA, possibly continuing slightly into Iron IIB; and Tomb B, the latest of the three tombs, in use in Iron IIB, the eighth century BCE. The Tel ‘Eton tombs provide significant data for the continuous use of this cemetery from the Late Bronze Age …

'Atiqot

Four rock-cut burial caves were exposed on a hillside to the south of Migdal Ha-‘Emeq, One (Cave 2) yielded archaeological finds. The cave was badly damaged in antiquity, and the finds within it were found scattered. Most of the finds date to EB IB, including pottery vessels, such as red-slipped and gray-burnished bowls, chalices, amphoriskoi and juglets, as well as beads, a figurine and a few flint items. Skeletal remains belong to at least 19 individuals—children and adults. The burial cave, in use from EB IB to EB II, was probably part of a much larger cemetery, which served the …

Ayyubid And Mamluk Pottery From A Crusader-Period Subterranean Reservoir At Moẓa (Pp. 193–204), Benjamin J. Dolinka Jan 2025

Ayyubid And Mamluk Pottery From A Crusader-Period Subterranean Reservoir At Moẓa (Pp. 193–204), Benjamin J. Dolinka

'Atiqot

Excavations in the underground Crusader water reservoir at Moẓa yielded a ceramic assemblage dating primarily to the Ayyubid period (1187–1250 CE), as well as some later Mamluk sherds (fourteenth to fifteenth centuries CE). The assemblage includes bowls, cooking pots, frying pans, amphorae, store jars, jugs, a juglet, a flask and lamps. The ceramic assemblage has strong affinities with contemporaneous Crusader and Frankish sites from the rural hinterland of Jerusalem. Other vessels of a later, Late Ottoman or British Mandate date were associated with an intrusive burial.

'Atiqot

The removal of soil from the vaults of the Crusader-period water reservoir at Moẓa revealed the installation’s plan and new data concerning its periods of use. The vaults were filled with gray soil, containing arch stones, pottery, glass, metal finds and animal bones, as well as chunks of lead and two copper coins from the Ayyubid period. This impressive Crusader-period reservoir was part of a larger structure from the same period. The pottery finds recovered from the fills provide evidence of continuous settlement here during the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods.
