Animal Bones From Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet (Pp. 185–190), Nimrod Marom

'Atiqot

Salvage excavations at Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet revealed animal-bone remains, which appear to represent fills dumped inside and around the hydraulic installations. Very few remains were recovered from Hellenistic–Early Roman loci, while a somewhat larger sample was obtained from Byzantine–Umayyad loci. The faunal assemblage comprises primarily beasts of burden, such as equids and camels. The high frequencies of fractures and carnivore gnawing marks indicate little human processing of bones for food and early discard.

Metal Artifacts From Khirbat El-‘Umdan, Bet Shemesh: New Insights Concerning The Ghassulian Metallurgy (Hebrew, Pp. 13*–25*; English Summary, P. 239), Yitzhak Vassal, Edwin C.M. Van Den Brink, Erez Ben Yosef

'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.

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 …

Geomorphology And Sedimentology Of Gane Ṭal (Pp. 297–306), Oren Ackermann

'Atiqot

The Gane Ṭal site is located in the southeastern part of the Israeli coastal plain and comprises two major soil groups: red sandy (ḥusmas) or non-calcareous (ḥamra) soils; and brown grumusols (vertisols). The occurrence of two soil types in a sequence is evidence of changes in environmental conditions. This study aimed at examining the sedimentological environment of the site before and during the period of ancient occupation, to assess the possibility that environmental conditions changed during that time span.

A Byzantine-Period Funerary Chapel In The Newe Yam Dalet Neighborhood In Ashqelon (Pp. 147–158), Yulia Ustinova, Gregory Seriy

'Atiqot

Excavations in Ashqelon’s Newe Yam Dalet neighborhood revealed a remarkable funerary chapel.The funerary complex comprises a courtyard, a tomb and a roofed chamber. The chamber floor was paved with mosaics, containing three Greek inscription; a fourth inscription was found on a marble slab in secondary use.The epigraphic evidence endorses the interpretation of the site as a cultic complex, perhaps aprivate memorial site of an individual venerated by the community.

Chalcolithic And Early Bronze Age Ib Fauna From Beqo‘A (Pp. 67–74), Edward F. Maher

'Atiqot

The Zooarchaeological finds from Beqo‘a date from the Chalcolithic period (Stratum III) and EB IB (Strata II–I). The faunal assemblage consists of 207 animal bones and tooth fragments belonging to cattle (Bos taurus), donkey (Equus asinus), gazelle (Gazella sp.), pig (Sus scrofa) and Sheep/Goat (Ovis/Capra). The fauna from both phases of occupation is dominated by domestic stock; wild species were rarely exploited. The limited mortality data suggest that animals were culled at varying stages, and therefore, utilized for both primary and secondary animal products.

Remains From The Byzantine, Early Islamic, Crusader And Ottoman Periods In The “Ganor Compound,” Yafo (Jaffa) (With Contributions By Amir Golani, Robert Kool, Moshe Sade)(Hebrew, Pp. 71*–83*; English Summary, Pp. 159–160), Eriola Jakoel

'Atiqot

Excavations on the eastern fringes of Tel Yafo unearthed finds dating from the Hellenistic, Byzantine, Early Islamic, Crusader and Ottoman periods. From the Hellenistic period, a bronze coin of Ptolemy II was found. From the Byzantine period, occupation layers were exposed that contained potsherds, glass tesserae and glass industrial waste. During the Islamic period, the area was used for industrial and agricultural purposes. In the Crusader period (the late eleventh–twelfth and the thirteenth centuries CE), organized street networks, public buildings and dwellings, as well as a well-developed industry, were exposed. Yafo was reoccupied in the Ottoman period (seventeenth century CE), …

'Atiqot

Excavations in the northeastern part of Yafo exposed a massive wall from the Hellenistic period, which might have been part of a farmstead. The pottery, metal artifacts and numismatic finds from this period indicate that the occupants were wealthy and maintained trade contacts. The most prominent finds date to the late Ottoman period (nineteenth–mid-twentieth centuries CE), including the remains of seven buildings, a road, seven built cesspits and an underground drainage system. The late Ottoman remains attest to extensive development of the area at a time when there was a flourishing trade in citrus fruit and the city’s population reached …

The Archaeozoology Of Bronze Age Offerings From Burial Cave 900 In Naḥal Refa’Im, Jerusalem (Pp. 75–100), Liora Kolska Horwitz

'Atiqot

The animal remains recovered during the salvage excavations in Cave 900 were interspersed among human skeletal remains, ceramics, weapons and ornaments. It is apparent that the faunal remains represent exclusively domestic sheep (Ovis aries) and goat (Capra hircus) that were slaughtered as part of Bronze Age mortuary rituals. This assemblage provides additional evidence for the widespread nature of the funeral feast in both the Intermediate Bronze Age and Middle Bronze Age IIB.

Ottoman Clay Tobacco Pipes And Nargile Heads From The Flour Mills In The Ridwan Gardens, ‘Akko (Pp. 97–102), Anastasia Shapiro

'Atiqot

Clay tobacco pipes and nargile heads were unearthed in the flour mills in the Ridwan Gardens, ‘Akko. They were most probably used by the workers of the mills. Based on previous researches and studies, the tobacco pipes and the nargile heads should be dated between the eighteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries CE.

Excavations At The Nabatean Site Of ‘En Tamar (Pp. 49–71), Tali Erickson-Gini

'Atiqot

A structure was uncovered at ‘En Tamar, located south of the Dead Sea. Most of the ceramic finds and the glass material from the structure date to the Late Roman period (second–early third centuries CE). Earlier ceramic material, dated to the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods (second century BCE–early first century CE), along with Nabatean coins from these periods, were also found. The abandonment of the site in the early third century CE fits a pattern of abandoned sites that was observed in a number of sites in the Negev, possibly due to the spread of epidemic.

A Chalcolithic Settlement At Tel Shevaʻ (Hebrew, Pp. 43*–69*; English Summary, P. 106), Yael Abadi-Reiss

'Atiqot

Salvage excavations at Tel Shevaʻ uncovered the remains of a Chalcolithic-period settlement. The architectural remains consisted mainly of pits of different sizes and types, which were dug into the loess soil; they served as refuse pits in their final stage of use. The fill within the pits comprised soil and ash accumulations, mixed with potsherds, flints and animal bones, reflecting a broad range of domestic activities that had once been carried out on surface level. The site appears to have been the largest of the Ghassulian-culture sites in the Be’er Shevaʻ Valley.

Ask The Experts: Community Engagement Studios To Inform Research On Cannabis Use In Cancer Symptom Management, Brittney Greene, Grace Mckenzie, Keenan Gibbons, Salimah Meghani, Brooke Worster, Rebecca Ashare

Institute of Emerging Health Professions Faculty Papers

AIM: Despite one-third of patients with cancer using cannabis for symptom management, little is known about their access to and usage of cannabis. Community Engagement (CE) studios involving community experts with chronic health conditions were used to inform a qualitative study on access to and use of cannabis products among patients with cancer.

METHOD: We conducted two 2-hour CE studios with residents from Western NY (WNY) (N = 18). Our sample primarily included White and Black residents (56% vs. 39%). After a researcher-led 10-minute presentation, a community facilitator led the discussion, which focused on questions about challenges to cannabis …
