Tunnel-Well (Qanat) Systems From The Early Islamic Period In The ‘Arava (With Contributions By Nili Liphschitz And Yoel Wiesel, And Moshe Sharon) (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–81*; English, Pp. 113–116), Yosef Porath Jan 2025

Tunnel-Well (Qanat) Systems From The Early Islamic Period In The ‘Arava (With Contributions By Nili Liphschitz And Yoel Wiesel, And Moshe Sharon) (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–81*; English, Pp. 113–116), Yosef Porath

'Atiqot

Qanat systems operated mainly in arid and semi-arid regions to obtain ground water by means of gravitation. This sophisticated technology was identified at three sites in the ‘Arava—‘En ‘Avrona, ‘En Yotvata and ‘En Marzev—and provided water all year round for household and irrigation needs. Excavations at these sites exposed agricultural farms, comprising a qanat system, a reservoir, a cultivated area and rectangular structures. Finds include pottery, stone and glass vessels, metal finds, coins and epigraphical finds, as well as organic material, botanical remains, melanopsis shells and faunal remains, dating to the Early Islamic period (late seventh–ninth centuries CE). This date …

Remains From Iron Age Iib Until The Ottoman Period At I‘Billin (Hebrew, Pp. 91*–126*; English Summary, Pp. 110–111), Rafeh Abu-Raya

'Atiqot

Three excavations in the village of I‘billin (Areas A–C) yielded 13 occupation layers, dating from Iron Age IIB to the Ottoman period. The remains from the Early and Middle Roman periods (Strata X–IX) include a ritual bath (miqweh) and an underground hiding complex, indicating that a Jewish settlement existed at the site. The Byzantine period (Stratum VII) is represented by architectural remains, as well as by imported bowls from Phoenicia, Cyprus and North Africa. Of special note is an ashlar engraved with the tree of life, which was found in secondary use in a Mamluk-period floor.

'Atiqot

Human skeletal remains were found in three burial caves dated to the Intermediate Bronze Age. It was possible to determine the practice of primary burial in a flexed posture and diverse orientation. The skeletal remains represent at least 14 individuals, one of them an infant. It is noteworthy that the burial of several individuals is uncommon during the Intermediate Bronze Age, during which singular burials were the norm.

Remains Of The Wadi Rabah Culture, Early Bronze Age Ib And The Intermediate Bronze Age At ‘En Esur (‘Ein Assawir), Area J (Hebrew, Pp. 23*–43*; English Summary, Pp. 104–106), Eli Yannai

'Atiqot

The excavation at ‘En Esur Area J revealed six strata, the earliest dating to Pottery Neolithic A (Wadi Rabah culture; Stratum VI). Stratum V (Early Bronze Age IB) yielded stone foundations of three buildings: round, rectangular and rhomboid. The round building was a large silo; its upper faces were leveled to bear mud bricks. Within the rectangular building were two flat stones that probably served as bases for wooden pillars. The third, rhombus-shaped building, was built of large, flat fieldstones, and comprised two broad rooms connected by a stepped opening. Bases made of large flat stones were found in the …

'Atiqot

Salvage excavations in the neighborhood of Newe Yaraq, Lod exposed the remains of a Late Roman pottery kiln of the vertical or up-draft type. Seven to eight mud-brick courses of the circular outer wall of the lower chamber (firebox) survived. A round, mud-brick column in its center supported a mud-brick vaulted ceiling that served as the floor of the upper stacking chamber. Associated ceramics, including kiln wasters and slags, were encountered on the fire-chamber’s floor. Most common in the assemblage are sherds belonging to a single type of storage jar, dating to the second–fourth centuries CE. Pottery of the Pottery …

The Pottery From The Church Of Bishop Johannes At Ḥorbat Barqa, Gan Yavne (Pp. 115–118), Yehudah Rapuano Jan 2025

The Pottery From The Church Of Bishop Johannes At Ḥorbat Barqa, Gan Yavne (Pp. 115–118), Yehudah Rapuano

'Atiqot

The pottery can be generally dated within the range of the fifth and the early seventh centuries CE, in accordance with the date on the dedication inscription of the church. The assemblage includes Late Roman C Ware, storage jars and tegula roof tiles. The dark, rich alluvial soil of the Marzeva trough, upon which Barqa is situated, provided an excellent source of raw material for pottery vessels, as is also evinced by the nearby pottery workshop discovered in previous excavations.

A Mosaic Floor In The Church Of Bishop Johannes At Ḥorbat Barqa, Gan Yavne (Hebrew, Pp. 89*–126*; English Summary, Pp. 129–132), Lihi Habas Jan 2025

A Mosaic Floor In The Church Of Bishop Johannes At Ḥorbat Barqa, Gan Yavne (Hebrew, Pp. 89*–126*; English Summary, Pp. 129–132), Lihi Habas

'Atiqot

Mosaic pavements were uncovered in the nave and in the atrium of the Church of Bishop Johannes at Ḥorbat Barqa. Of the mosaic carpet in the nave nine rows were preserved; a large central medallion containing a circle of harmony and another large medallion with a dedicatory inscription emphasize its main axis. The mosaic is decorated with vine scrolls populated with still life objects, fauna, birds and daily scenes, alongside motifs with of religious significance. The mosaic floor, made in a flat, schematic style, is similar in style, composition and iconography to mosaic floors from the early sixth century CE …

Fragments Of Liturgical Furniture From The Church Of Bishop Johannes At Ḥorbat Barqa, Gan Yavne (Hebrew, Pp. 127*–141*; English Summary, Pp. 133–135), Lihi Habas Jan 2025

Fragments Of Liturgical Furniture From The Church Of Bishop Johannes At Ḥorbat Barqa, Gan Yavne (Hebrew, Pp. 127*–141*; English Summary, Pp. 133–135), Lihi Habas

'Atiqot

The excavation at Ḥorbat Barqa yielded fragments of marble liturgical furniture belonging to an altar table, two chancel-screen panels—one solid and one with a lace pattern—as well as a silver-plated bronze cross with holes, which was probably inlaid in an architectural element. Based on parallels, the chancel screens seem to have been decorated with the stephanos composition (stephanostaurion), which symbolizes Christ, the redemption and the salvation that he brought, and the triumph over death. The liturgical area of the apse and the bema were not preserved; however, the altar-table fragments and the chancel screens provide evidence for their existence.

A Hoard Of Antoniniani From Qula (Pp. 69–114), Robert Kool Jan 2025

A Hoard Of Antoniniani From Qula (Pp. 69–114), Robert Kool

'Atiqot

The Qula hoard (n = 2019) was found in a farmhouse located within the hinterland of Diospolis (Roman Lydda). The hoard consists exclusively of radiate antoniniani and aurelianiani, containing less than 50% silver, which were issued by the Roman emperors in the third century CE. The exact reasons for the concealment of the hoard remain unclear. The hoard’s composition suggests that it was deposited in the early 290s CE, before the new currencies of Diocletian’s reform (293/4–296 CE) were introduced. The coins were issued almost exclusively in Eastern mints (Antioch, ‘Samosata’ and Tripolis), indicating that the coins from these mints …

'Atiqot

A Byzantine church was uncovered at the site. It was divided by two rows of pillars into a nave and two narrow aisles, and was entered from an atrium in the west via three openings. The nave was paved with a colored mosaic, of which nine rows were uncovered. The central vertical row contained a Greek dedicatory inscription, which dates the erection of the church to the time of Bishop Johannes in 511/12 CE. Fragments of liturgical furniture were found scattered in the nave, together with pottery fragments and roof tiles. This church is an important contribution to our understanding …

The cave was hewn in a cliff; it has a roughly square plan. A corridor leads to three hewn steps with a standing pit at the bottom. Wide benches, on three sides of the standing pit, were used to place the deceased and their funerary offerings. An ossuary with a lid and four legs, was found, decorated with incised motifs. The cave yielded skeletal remains belonging to 13 individuals and pottery dated to the second–first centuries BCE. A few bronze artifacts were also recovered: a ladle, small bottles, kohl sticks and amulets. The cave appears to have been a family …

'Atiqot

Three excavation areas were opened, exposing terraces, enclosure walls, dams, stone-clearance heaps, cairns, watchman’s booths, roads, winepresses, fence walls, caves or rock shelters, limekilns, cup marks and cisterns. The excavation recovered very little pottery. The site probably began to be intensively farmed in the Iron Age and Persian period. It reached its peak in the Late Hellenistic–Early Roman periods, when almost all the features in the compound were in use. A limited activity in the compound took place during the Byzantine period, continuing into the Early Islamic period.

Human Skeletal Remains From A Cistern At Tel Hadid (El-Haditha) (Hebrew, P. 23*–24*; English Summary, P. 122), Yossi Nagar Jan 2025

Human Skeletal Remains From A Cistern At Tel Hadid (El-Haditha) (Hebrew, P. 23*–24*; English Summary, P. 122), Yossi Nagar

'Atiqot

Human skeletal remains were found in a Byzantine water cistern at Tel Hadid. The scattered bones were mixed with grave goods dated to the Late Bronze Age, probably the result of the clearance of adjacent graves. The bones were in a very poor state of preservation, and included mostly teeth. The bones from Tel Hadid represent at least 20 individuals, including infants, children, sub-adults and adults, typical of a regular historic cemetery population.

'Atiqot

A salvage excavation on the southwestern face of Tel Hadid reached the bottom of a water cistern. The cistern’s ceiling probably collapsed in antiquity, sealing its contents. The fill contained a large quantity of human skeletal remains and pottery from the end of the Late Bronze Age (thirteenth–twelfth centuries BCE), suggesting that the assemblage originated in an adjacent cave.

Excavations At Tel Shunem (Sulam), Areas G And G1 (Pp. 25–62), Karen Covello-Paran, Eran Arie

'Atiqot

The excavation revealed five strata, dating from Late Bronze Age III (Stratum V), early Iron Age I (Stratum IV), Iron Age I (Stratum III/3), and the Roman (Stratum 2), Byzantine (Stratum III/1) and modern (Stratum I) periods. The ceramic assemblage of the LB III stratum is characteristic of the end of Egyptian rule in Canaan (Dynasty XX). This Canaanite site was destroyed in the second half of the twelfth century BCE, probably as part of the collapse of Egyptian rule in Canaan. A successive occupation of the site occurred during Iron I, as indicated by the pottery assemblage and supported …

Petrographic Examination Of The Ceramic Vessels From Tel Shunem (Sulam) (Pp. 63–68), Anastasia Shapiro Jan 2025

Petrographic Examination Of The Ceramic Vessels From Tel Shunem (Sulam) (Pp. 63–68), Anastasia Shapiro

'Atiqot

A total of 20 ceramic vessels dating to LB III–Iron I were sampled for petrographic examination. The results of the examination were compared with the natural geology and lithology of the surroundings, existing petrographic databases and prior research results. Five petrographic groups were identified according to their matrix and temper affinities: Groups 1–3 were locally made, Group 4 was produced in the upper and central Jordan Valley and Group 5 was probably imported from the South Lebanese coast.

A Note On The Provenance Of Black Wheel-Made Vessels From A Burial Cave West Of Tel Hazor (Pp. 21–23), Anat Cohen-Weinberger Jan 2025

A Note On The Provenance Of Black Wheel-Made Vessels From A Burial Cave West Of Tel Hazor (Pp. 21–23), Anat Cohen-Weinberger

'Atiqot

A petrographic analysis was undertaken to determine the source of the raw materials used in the production of the Intermediate Bronze Age Black Wheel-Made Ware (BWMW) vessels retrieved from a burial cave west of Tel Hazor. The BWMW repertoire is limited to goblets, cups, jars, kraters, teapots and bottles; its distribution seems to be largely restricted to northern Israel, particularly to the Hula Valley. The aims of this study were to identify the raw materials that were used to manufacture the selected vessels, determine their geological sources and assess possible geographic regions of manufacture.

A Burial Cave From The Intermediate Bronze Age And The Middle Bronze Age West Of Tel Hazor (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–11*; English Summary, Pp. 119–120), Nimrod Getzov Jan 2025

A Burial Cave From The Intermediate Bronze Age And The Middle Bronze Age West Of Tel Hazor (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–11*; English Summary, Pp. 119–120), Nimrod Getzov

'Atiqot

The burial cave was hewn into the side of a chalk spur southwest of the large rampart in the Lower City of Hazor. The entry to the cave was via a square shaft, at the bottom of which was an opening that led into a rectangular chamber, followed by another, elliptically-shaped chamber with a central stone platform. The two chambers yielded skeletal remains of at least seven children and adults, as well as potsherds and limestone beads from the Intermediate Bronze Age, and an intact jar and a jug from early in the Middle Bronze Age. It seems that the …

An Early Bronze Age I–Early Bronze Age Iii Occupation Sequence At Tamra, Western Galilee (With A Contribution By Ofer Marder)(Pp. 1–19), Howard Smithline

'Atiqot

The excavation at Tamra yielded important information concerning the Early Bronze Age on the eastern edge of the ‘Akko plain. The first recognizable settlement was established during EB IB. This phase was followed by an EB II settlement, whose pottery assemblage was typically dominated by a large number of Metallic Ware vessels. The major contribution of the excavation, however, is the documentation of an established settlement during EB III. The discovery of an EB III occupation that includes Khirbet Kerak Ware finally introduces this period and its pottery repertoire into the plain.
