The Chipped-Stone Collection From The Chalcolithic Cemetery At Palmaḥim (North) (Pp. 97–101), Ofer Marder Jan 2025

The Chipped-Stone Collection From The Chalcolithic Cemetery At Palmaḥim (North) (Pp. 97–101), Ofer Marder

'Atiqot

The flint collection from Palmaḥim is extremely meager. A few artifacts were recovered inside the tombs, but most of them were retrieved from the lower layers of the surrounding sand fills and on the surface. Aside from two Chalcolithic sickle blades, all the flint items are intrusive. The flint collection is not homogeneous, attesting to a temporarily occupied site during four different periods: Middle Paleolithic, Epipaleolithic (Kebaran), Pottery Neolithic and Chalcolithic.

'Atiqot

Excavations at the village of Tamra ez-Zuʻabiyya exposed well-preserved basalt architectural remains of a rural settlement, dating from the Byzantine to the Early Islamic periods. Remains were also uncovered from the Iron Age and the Persian and Roman periods, as well as from the Fatimid, Mamluk and Ottoman periods. In the Byzantine period, a church was erected at the site, decorated with a colorful mosaic pavement, depicting doves and peacocks. During the Umayyad period, the church included a nave, a bema and a northern aisle. The nave was adorned with a colorful mosaic pavement, containing a four-line dedicatory inscription in …

The Armon Ha-Naẓiv Tunnel, ‘Government House’ Ridge, Jerusalem (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–53*; English Summary, Pp. 165–167), YaʻAkov Billig

'Atiqot

The excavations at the Armon Ha-Naẓiv tunnel in Jerusalem shed light on its purpose, as well as on the dating of the lower aqueduct’s construction, its periods of use and planning. The excavations exposed the full length of the tunnel and various installations adjacent to the tunnel entrances. It is now possible for the first time to date the aqueduct to the Second Temple period on the basis of archaeological finds. Some changes were made to the aqueduct during the Byzantine period. Following the Muslim conquest and during the Umayyad period, the aqueduct was redirected to the Temple Mount, Haram …

Remains From The Late Roman To The Mamluk Periods On Djabsha Street, Old City, Jerusalem: An Early Islamic-Period Fuller’S Workshop? (Pp. 127–146), Hervé Barbé

'Atiqot

A limited salvage excavationon Djabsha Street in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem provided evidence for the occupation of the site from the end of the Roman through the Mamluk period. Asmall workshop was established at the site toward the end of the Byzantine, or perhaps at the beginning of the Early Islamic period. It is assumed that this installation was linked with the processing of skins or cloth (tannery, laundry, dyer, etc.).

Chalcolithic And Early Bronze Age Ib Flint Assemblages From Beqo‘A (Pp. 55–56), Hamoudi Khalaily Jan 2025

Chalcolithic And Early Bronze Age Ib Flint Assemblages From Beqo‘A (Pp. 55–56), Hamoudi Khalaily

'Atiqot

A total of 5128 flint artifacts was collectedfrom the excavation at Beqo‘a. Approximately 70% of the flint artifacts were retrieved from the Chalcolithic layer (Stratum III); the remainder were from the Early BronzeAge IB (Strata II and I).The Stratum III assemblage is homogeneous and typical of Late Chalcolithic–Ghassulian assemblages. As the site is located within an environment of available raw materials, flint production was an integral partof the site’s economy.

An Excavation Near A Pre-Pottery Neolithic A Flint Quarry Onkaizer Hill, Modi‘In (Pp. 1–8), Polina Spivak Jan 2025

An Excavation Near A Pre-Pottery Neolithic A Flint Quarry Onkaizer Hill, Modi‘In (Pp. 1–8), Polina Spivak

'Atiqot

A trial excavation conducted on the eastern slope of Kaizer Hill, Modi‘in, uncovered anthropogenic bedrock markings, possibly related to flint quarrying activity, and a Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) flint industry. Four natural rock steps of limestone bedrock were exposed, and flint items were systematically collected. On the surface and edges of the rock steps, dense concentrations of bedrock cupmarks were documented, probably the result of the extraction of flint nodules.

Glass Vessels And Glass-Production Remains From The “Ganor Compound” In Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 143–151), Yael Gorin-Rosen

'Atiqot

A typical group of Crusader glass vessels was found in the “Ganor Compound” in Yafo, as well as a single bottle from the late tenth and early eleventh centuries CE. The Crusader glass mainly includes beakers and bottles of common types. Remains of glass production were also found: small chunks of raw glass, a small glass drop and remains of bricks, walls or floors of the furnaces; these could belong to either primary or secondary production stages. It seems that most of the vessels were locally made.

'Atiqot

A group of quarrying tools was recovered from Area B of the Third Wall excavations, approximately 400 m northwest of Damascus Gate, Jerusalem. The tools were found side-by-side, one atop the other, and therefore, seem to be part of a stonemason’s tool kit. Among the tools are splitting wedges and wedge slats. This is the first time that so large a group of ancient quarrying tools has been exposed in situ in an archaeological excavation. The tools were probably used in a quarry dating to the Second Temple period.
