Pottery Vessels And Stone Artifacts From The Persian, Roman And Byzantine Periods At The French Hospital Compound, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 157–188), Peter Gendelman

'Atiqot

The excavations within the French Hospital Compound revealed pottery and stone finds originating in burials dating to the Persian, Roman and Byzantine periods. The Persian-period (mid-fifth to mid/late fourth century BCE) burial goods comprised mainly perfume containers (juglets and bottles) and storage vessels (local and imported amphorae), in accordance with the burial customs practiced in contemporary burials along the coastal plain of Israel, mainly inhabited by Phoenicians. The finds from the Roman period (early second to the fourth or early fifth century CE) present a wide range of pottery types, including imported table wares, amphorae, large bowls, mortaria, diverse types …

Byzantine And Early Islamic Oil Lamps And A Lantern From The French Hospital Compound, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 189–209), Peter Gendelman, Ayelet Dayan Jan 2025

Byzantine And Early Islamic Oil Lamps And A Lantern From The French Hospital Compound, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 189–209), Peter Gendelman, Ayelet Dayan

'Atiqot

Excavations within the French Hospital Compound provided a large quantity of both complete and fragmentary oil lamps dating from the Byzantine period (fifth–seventh centuries CE) and an additional group of lamps dating from the Early Islamic period (Abbasid period; eighth–tenth centuries CE). The Byzantine-period oil lamps included local, regional and imported types. The largest group of Byzantine-period oil lamps belong to Caesarea Type 1 (archetype and two variants) and are decorated with diverse patterns. The second-most common group of Byzantine-period oil lamps is the Candlestick type. The rich variety of both regional and imported oil lamps reflects the role of …

A Cemetery From The Persian Period And Remains From The Late Roman, Byzantine, Abbasid And Crusader Periods At The French Hospital Compound, Yafo (Jaffa) (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–27*; English Summary, Pp. 533–535), Ayelet Dayan, Yossi Levy, Galit Samora-Cohen

'Atiqot

Excavations in the French Hospital compound uncovered built tombs and burial caves, architectural remains, built installations and rock cuttings from the Persian, Late Roman, Byzantine, Abbasid and Crusader periods. The Persian-period burial caves were hewn in the kurkar bedrock, with vertical shaft entrances. Intact pottery vessels comprised mainly juglets and oil lamps dating from the mid-fifth to the mid-fourth century BCE. Burial in the Persian period was apparently familial, and the burial practices resemble those observed in the Phoenician burials located along the Israeli coast. Remains dating from the Late Roman period consist of a rock-cut tomb, an installation and …

Artillery Shots From Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 143–146), Alexander Glick

'Atiqot

Twelve intact and fragmentary cannon balls were discovered in the excavation on Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street, representing a wide range of guns, from small to very large types, and dating from the post-Napoleonic era (first half of the nineteenth century). This assemblage seems to be indicative of guns that belonged to the Ottoman army, which is known to have purchased artillery from a wide variety of sources, including some of domestic production and military booty. This findspot, which was apparently bombarded from the fort, would have been an excellent spot for setting up besieging forces.

Byzantine- And Ottoman-Period Pottery Assemblages From Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 75–119), Anna De Vincenz Jan 2025

Byzantine- And Ottoman-Period Pottery Assemblages From Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 75–119), Anna De Vincenz

'Atiqot

The excavations on Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street yielded mostly Ottoman-period material, alongside a fair amount of Byzantine-period ceramics. The finds from the Byzantine period (sixth–eighth centuries CE) include imported vessels from North Africa, Phocaea and Cyprus, and locally produced basins and storage jars. The late Ottoman-period material is varied and includes both imported and local wares—porcelain, hard-paste, glazed earthenware, Black Gaza Ware and Coarse Ware—as well as construction material such as roof tiles, floor tiles and bricks. The Ottoman-period material was imported from Turkey and Greece, as well as from Italy and France. Hard-paste and porcelain vessels were usually imported …

'Atiqot

The pottery retrieved from the excavations on Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street included sherds dated to the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods, providing testimony to the earliest urban occupation of Yafo’s Lower City. The Hellenistic assemblage consists of Fine Table Wares, almost exclusively Eastern Mediterranean imports, household and cooking wares, and local and regionally produced containers. The finds from the Early Roman period included only a handful of fragmentary vessels.

Remains From Middle Bronze Age Ii And The Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Crusader, Late Ottoman And British Mandate Periods On Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 17–52), Yoav Arbel, Lior Rauchberger

'Atiqot

Eight excavation areas (A–G, J) were exposed, revealing seven strata dating from Middle Bronze Age II to the days of the British Mandate. The earliest find is an MB IIA infant jar burial—a significant find outside the boundaries of Tel Yafo. Burial graves from the Hellenistic, Roman and Crusader periods confirm that this street marked Yafo’s eastern limits in those times. The Hellenistic presence, probably under Ptolemaic rule, included scattered dwellings and farms with associated pottery dating from the late fourth to the second century BCE. The finds from the Byzantine period include a structure and pottery, reflecting a significant …

The Coins From The Excavation At Pi Maẓuva (Hebrew, Pp. 67*–69*; English Summary, P. 188), Gabriela Bijovsky

'Atiqot

Eight bronze coins were found at Pi Maẓuva, six of which were identified. Except for one, dating from the reign of Constantine I (fourth century CE), all the coins date to the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods: one half follis of Anastasius I (507–512 CE), two coins of Emperor Heraclius (629/630 CE), one Arab-Byzantine coin and an Umayyad post-reform fals, dating from the eighth century CE.

A Seventh-Century Ce Mosaic Floor At Pi Maẓuva (Hebrew, Pp. 57*–66*; English Summary, Pp. 185–187), Rina Talgam Jan 2025

A Seventh-Century Ce Mosaic Floor At Pi Maẓuva (Hebrew, Pp. 57*–66*; English Summary, Pp. 185–187), Rina Talgam

'Atiqot

The mosaic floor uncovered at Pi Maẓuva comprises a broad border of acanthus medallions, surrounding a carpet of flower buds, with a woman’s bust depicted in its center, possibly a personification of abundance and agricultural fertility. The acanthus border is populated by floral and animal motifs, which seem to have been executed by experienced artists. Based on iconographic and stylistic considerations, the mosaic was dated to the seventh century CE, probably created after the Muslim conquest, attesting to a continuation of local Byzantine traditions throughout the seventh–eighth centuries CE. The mosaic might have adorned a room that was used for …

Byzantine-Period Pottery Vessels From Pi Maẓuva (Hebrew, Pp. 41*–55*; English Summary, P. 184), Yoav Lerer Jan 2025

Byzantine-Period Pottery Vessels From Pi Maẓuva (Hebrew, Pp. 41*–55*; English Summary, P. 184), Yoav Lerer

'Atiqot

The pottery finds retrieved from the buildings excavated at Pi Maẓuva date to the late Byzantine period and comprise local and imported vessels. The imported vessels include red-slipped bowls of ARS ware—two were adorned, one with a cross and the other, with a human figure holding a staff; CRS ware; LRC (Phocaean Red) ware—with two body fragments bearing a cross; and amphorae. The pottery from Pi Maẓuva shows a clear affinity with assemblages dated to the late Byzantine period at nearby sites in the western Galilee. The rather large quantity of imported vessels possibly suggests the existence of dwellings and …

'Atiqot

The excavation at Pi Maẓuva revealed building complexes, some separated by an alley, dating from the Byzantine period. The finds at the site included a bronze cross, an ashlar limestone lintel with a cross engraving, and pottery dated to the sixth–seventh centuries CE, which comprised local types, alongside many imported ones, some adorned with crosses. An interesting find is a high-quality, colorful, seventh-century CE mosaic floor adorned with floral motifs, animal and human figures, and two fragmentary Greek inscriptions. The finds at the site point to the existence of a rural Christian settlement, probably destroyed during the Persian conquest of …

The Ancient And Present Geomorphology And Sedimentology Of Miska (Pp. 173–177), Oren Ackermann Jan 2025

The Ancient And Present Geomorphology And Sedimentology Of Miska (Pp. 173–177), Oren Ackermann

'Atiqot

The site of Miska is located in the Sharon region, in the central part of the Israeli coastal plain. The region is characterized by a series of red sandy soils (ḥamra) that had developed atop stabilized sand dunes. A section cut in Area A—where a refuse pit and industrial deposits of glass manufacture were unearthed—revealed a dense accumulation of ash and evidence of an ancient active channel with a low-energy water flow regime. Yellow sandy material, apparently of natural origin, which was found at the bottom of the section, might have been exploited for the manufacturing of glass at the …

A Double-Stamped Zir Handle From Miska (Pp. 131–133), Nitzan Amitai-Preiss Jan 2025

A Double-Stamped Zir Handle From Miska (Pp. 131–133), Nitzan Amitai-Preiss

'Atiqot

The stamped zir jar handle from Miska has two stamps on its upper side, one near the other. One of the stamps depicts a six-pointed star, surrounded by a thick bold circle, with dots between the spikes and a dot in its center; the second stamp comprises two concentric circles with a dot in the center. Stamped jar handles displaying various star designs were unearthed in the Umayyad-period pottery kilns of Nebi Samwil, located north of Jerusalem. A possible explanation for the double-stamped handles is that they represented a change in the ownership of the jar, or in the warehouse …

Glass Finds And Remains Of A Glass Industry From Miska (135–168), Yael Gorin-Rosen Jan 2025

Glass Finds And Remains Of A Glass Industry From Miska (135–168), Yael Gorin-Rosen

'Atiqot

Large quantities of glass vessels and remains of a large-scale glass industry were retrieved in the excavation at Miska, mostly from the refuse pit in Area A. The glass assemblage mainly dates from the Late Roman and early Byzantine periods (fourth–early fifth centuries CE), showing affinities with several glass-vessel groups, all of which relate to local production centers. The glass-production remains comprised a large amount of raw glass chunks and debris from destroyed furnaces, pointing to a primary production. The remains of the glass industry add important information concerning the history of primary glass production in the region, reinforcing the …

'Atiqot

The pottery from Miska dates mainly to the Byzantine, Early Islamic and late Ottoman periods. The refuse pit in Area A contained finds from two periods of use: Late Roman and early Byzantine, and late Byzantine and Early Islamic. Lamps dating from these periods are presented as well; they belong mostly to three major types: ovoid lamps with a large filling hole, and Samaritan Lamp Types 1 and 2. The late Ottoman period is represented mainly by Black Gaza Ware, Turkish smoking pipes and Marseille roof tiles. The rare presence of imported vessel types in all the assemblages points to …

Remains Of The Late Roman To Late Ottoman Periods At Miska In The Southern Sharon (Pp. 85–98), Polina Spivak

'Atiqot

Ten squares were excavated in four areas (A–D) at Miska, revealing a long and detailed stratigraphic sequence, from the Late Roman to the late Ottoman periods. In Area A, a large refuse pit was revealed, containing a considerable amount of glass shards and debris of a glass furnace, dating from the Late Roman–Byzantine periods. Glass production was an important activity in the region of Miska, likely related to the local availability of sand and fuel. Miska served as a station in the Roman road system, which expanded during the Byzantine period, with the Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and …

A Late Bronze Age Ii Cist Grave At Tel Qana In The Sharon Coastal Plain (With Contributions By Sariel Shalev And Sana Shilstein; Alexander Tsatskin) (Pp. 67–84), Edwin C.M. Van Den Brink Jan 2025

A Late Bronze Age Ii Cist Grave At Tel Qana In The Sharon Coastal Plain (With Contributions By Sariel Shalev And Sana Shilstein; Alexander Tsatskin) (Pp. 67–84), Edwin C.M. Van Den Brink

'Atiqot

Excavations at Tel Qana, situated in the Naḥal Ha-Yarqon basin, revealed a Middle Bronze Age II occupation horizon, a cist grave dating to Late Bronze Age II and two winepresses dating from Iron Age II. The present report focuses on the large LB II cist grave, which contained the remains of a primary burial of a single individual, probably male, who was interred with several ceramic vessels and three metal weapons. The cist’s walls and floor were uniquely plastered with thick layers of high quality, waterproof white lime plaster. This burial seems to indicate a shift from multiple cave burials …

Khirbat Ḥasan: Water Control Systems And Agriculture-Related Activities Along Naḥal Har’El (Pp. 17–65), Yitzhak Paz, Rina Avner, Barak Monnickendam-Giveon, Oren Ackermann, Anat Cohen-Weinberger

'Atiqot

The excavations at Khirbat Ḥasan were carried out in a wide valley on the Naḥal Har’el floodplain. The findings attest that in antiquity, the inhabitants exploited the area for agricultural activities. Eight areas were opened: in Area A, water control systems dating from the Intermediate Bronze Age and the Roman–Byzantine periods were discovered; Area G yielded Hellenistic-period pottery, a Roman–Byzantine rural road and agricultural terrace walls; in Area C, Chalcolithic-period pottery and an Iron Age water control system were unearthed; in Area N, Intermediate Bronze Age occupation remains and agricultural activities were documented; Area B yielded Chalcolithic-period pottery, Intermediate Bronze …

The Animal Bones From The Chalcolithic-Period Refuse Pits At Yehud (Hebrew, Pp. 25*–29*; English Summary, P. 181), Nimrod Marom Jan 2025

The Animal Bones From The Chalcolithic-Period Refuse Pits At Yehud (Hebrew, Pp. 25*–29*; English Summary, P. 181), Nimrod Marom

'Atiqot

Two of the refuse pits discovered on Zionist Congress Street in Yehud contained animal bones. The bone assemblages from the pits were quite small, comprising mainly cattle, as well as sheep/goat and one pig bone. The representation of all parts of the skeleton indicates that the slaughtering of the animals and their initial processing took place next to the pits. Based on the meager wear signs on the bones, it seems that the remains were buried shortly after their disposal.
