A Burial Cave From The Byzantine–Early Islamic Periods At ‘En Lavan, Naḥal Refa’Im (With A Contribution By Yossi Nagar) (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–8*; English Summary, Pp. 171–172), Gideon Solimany Jan 2025

A Burial Cave From The Byzantine–Early Islamic Periods At ‘En Lavan, Naḥal Refa’Im (With A Contribution By Yossi Nagar) (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–8*; English Summary, Pp. 171–172), Gideon Solimany

'Atiqot

A rock-hewn burial cave was exposed below ‘En Lavan in Naḥal Refa’im. It comprised a burial chamber with three arcosolia, in which burial troughs were carved; some of them had raised rock-hewn headrests. The cave was found sealed. In situ finds included pottery, glassware, metal artifacts and beads. The bone remains represent at least ten individuals—probably local residents. The cave was in use from the Byzantine period to the beginning of the Early Islamic period.

A Late Iron Age Rock-Cut Tomb On The Western Slope Of Mount Zion, Jerusalem (Pp. 1–24), Amos Kloner, Irit Yezerski

'Atiqot

On the western slope of Mount Zion, Jerusalem, below the southwestern corner of the Old City walls, a First Temple period burial ground was revealed. Five rock-cut tombs (A–E) were exposed, one of which (Tomb A) was found sealed with its original blocking stone, and hence its great importance for reconstructing First Temple period burial practices. Tomb A is of the prevalent “bench-tomb” type and it served for multiple and simultaneous burials. The tomb yielded finds that are of special importance, illuminating the burial practices of the people of Jerusalem and Judah in the seventh century BCE until the Babylonian …

Petrographic Examination Of Selected Pottery Vessels From The Al-Waṭṭa Quarter, Safed (Ẓefat) (Pp. 225–233), Anastasia Shapiro Jan 2025

Petrographic Examination Of Selected Pottery Vessels From The Al-Waṭṭa Quarter, Safed (Ẓefat) (Pp. 225–233), Anastasia Shapiro

'Atiqot

Archaeological excavations in the al-Waṭṭa quarter in Safed unearthed a significant pottery collection dated to the Mamluk period. Of these, 22 ceramic vessels, including plain and glazed cooking and table wares, were selected for petrographic analysis. The finds were ascribed to three groups: Group 1, originating in the Mount Ḥermon foothills, in the southern Lebanon Range or in Transjordan; Group II, probably a local source, likely pointing to a local production; and Group III, a Basaltic Brown Mediterranean soil, which outcrops in the Jordan Valley, the Golan Heights and the Korazim plateau.

'Atiqot

The excavation on the western slope of the city of Safed revealed building remains of the Mamluk-period neighborhood of al-Waṭṭa (fourteenth–fifteenth centuries CE). Four strata were documented: Stratum IV, including pre-Mamluk remains; Stratum III, the main occupation layer, including dense building remains of a Mamluk-period neighborhood; Stratum II, a layer of debris within and between the Stratum III buildings; and Stratum I, a post-occupation layer. Stratum III came to a dramatic end in the first or second decade of the fifteenth century CE, probably due to an earthquake. Many pottery vessels, as well as glass vessels, coins, and metal and …

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

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.

Analysis Of The Late Chalcolithic-Period Flint Assemblage From Kafr ‘Ana, Or Yehuda (Pp. 235–245), Alla Yaroshevich Jan 2025

Analysis Of The Late Chalcolithic-Period Flint Assemblage From Kafr ‘Ana, Or Yehuda (Pp. 235–245), Alla Yaroshevich

'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 Late Ottoman-Period Pottery From Kafr ‘Ana, Or Yehuda (Pp. 219–227), Anna De Vincenz

'Atiqot

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.

Coins From Yafo (Jaffa), Yehuda Ha-Yammit Street (Pp. 197–199), Robert Kool Jan 2025

Coins From Yafo (Jaffa), Yehuda Ha-Yammit Street (Pp. 197–199), Robert Kool

'Atiqot

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.

Glass Vessels From Yafo (Jaffa), Yehuda Ha-Yammit Street (Pp. 191–195), Brigitte Ouahnouna

'Atiqot

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).

A Crusader-Period Moat And Other Remains From Yafo (Jaffa), Yehuda Ha-Yammit Street (Hebrew, Pp. 19*–42*; English Summary, Pp. 257–259), Elie Haddad, Lior Rauchberger

'Atiqot

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 …

Ritual Baths (Miqva‘Ot), Cisterns And Other Remains On The Fringes Of The Ancient Settlement In Ben Shemen (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–18*; English Summary, Pp. 255–256), Ronit Lupu

'Atiqot

The excavation within the precincts of the ancient site of Ben Shemen revealed three ritual baths (miqva‘ot), four cisterns, a quarry and a cave. The finds were mainly retrieved from fills within the installations, including pottery, glass and coins dating from the Hellenistic, Early Roman, Late Roman–Byzantine and Mamluk periods. Of special interest are the finds from the Early Roman period, dating between the Great Jewish Revolt and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (mid-first to the beginning of the second centuries CE). These add important information regarding the landscape of the Ben Shemen area and the larger region of the Lodian …

A Nabatean Roadside Temple At Ḥorbat Ḥaẓaẓa In The Negev Highlands (With A Contribution By Donald T. Ariel) (Pp. 145–172), Tali Erickson-Gini Jan 2025

A Nabatean Roadside Temple At Ḥorbat Ḥaẓaẓa In The Negev Highlands (With A Contribution By Donald T. Ariel) (Pp. 145–172), Tali Erickson-Gini

'Atiqot

The site was established in the mid-first century CE during the Nabatean rule over the area and was destructed in the second century CE, probably due to an earthquake. After a gap, the site was partially occupied in the post-annexation (second–third centuries CE) and early Byzantine (Phase 3; fourth–mid-fifth centuries CE) periods. Based on architectural considerations, the presence of large rectangular stone basins and numerous Nabataean coroplastic objects, it is suggested that the building served as a roadside temple along the road established by the Nabateans on the eastern side of the ‘Arava Valley.

The Flint Assemblage Of The Pottery Neolithic Site Of Tel Yosef (Tell Esh-Sheikh Ḥasan) (Pp. 29–52), Hamoudi Khalaily

'Atiqot

The flint assemblage of the Pottery Neolithic site of Tel Yosef was analyzed based on its stratigraphic position. Strata III and II yielded most of the flint artifacts, some of them were attributed to the Jericho IX culture, while the majority was dated exclusively to the Yarmukian culture. The Stratum I assemblage comprised objects dating to the Wadi Rabah phase. Nine tools, which predate the Pottery Neolithic period, possibly indicate human activity at the site prior to the Stratum III occupation.

'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 …

Petrographic Results Of Selected Chalcolithic Pottery Vessels From Ḥorbat Nevallaṭ (Pp. 137–140), Anat Cohen-Weinberger Jan 2025

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.
