Migdal, Ashqelon: The Glass Finds, Natalya Katsnelson
Migdal, Ashqelon: The Glass Finds, Natalya Katsnelson
Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel
The salvage excavation at Migdal, Ashqelon, unearthed some 85 glass fragments, including jars, bottles, a bowl, a bowl-shaped oil lamp, bracelets, beads and a windowpane. Most of the glass fragments were found in Ottoman- and British Mandate-period strata (III–I). Several fragments were found in Mamluk-period installations (Stratum IV), and only one fragment could be associated with the Roman–Byzantine period (Stratum V). Given the well-stratified context of the glass fragments, some of the uncovered types allow for more precise dating within the Ottoman period. As our knowledge of Late Islamic and early twentieth-century CE glass from settlements in southern Israel is …

Migdal, Ashqelon: The Ceramic Finds, Anna De Vincenz
Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel
The ceramic material presented in this report was recovered from a salvage excavation conducted to the east of the mosque in Migdal, Ashqelon. Although most of the ceramic material was dated to the late Ottoman period, Late Roman–Byzantine ceramics, a few sherds from the Crusader period and a Mamluk-period assemblage were also uncovered. The Mamluk assemblage is characterized by imported glazed bowls and locally made, handmade geometric painted vessels. The Ottoman-period material is varied and comprises ceramics imported from Turkey, Greece and Italy. Black Gaza Ware characterizes the locally produced vessels. Smoking pipes and narghile were common at the site.
Migdal, Ashqelon: Remains From The Late Roman–Byzantine, Mamluk And Ottoman Periods / מגדל, אשקלון: שרידים מן התקופות הרומית המאוחרת–הביזנטית, הממלוכית והעות'מאנית, Ilan Peretz
Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel
The excavation at Migdal, Ashqelon, uncovered remains from the Late Roman–Byzantine, Mamluk, Ottoman and British Mandate periods. It revealed a sequence of architectural remains, suggesting continuous occupation of the site during the thirteenth–fifteenth centuries CE, with a possible abandonment during the sixteenth century. During the seventeenth–eighteenth centuries, the site appears to have been resettled, and in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it underwent renewed construction. From the nineteenth century until the early 1950s, the area was continuously inhabited. Between the 1950s and 1980s, it was occupied by immigrants from North Africa, and by the 1980s, most of its buildings …

A small assemblage of 158 identified animal bones was retrieved from Crusader- and late Ottoman-period contexts at the French School. The bone samples from both periods consisted mainly of cattle and caprines, as well as some pig, donkey, horse and chicken bones. The relative frequency of pig bones in the Ottoman period might point to a religious tolerance toward the consumption of equid and wild boar. This may attest to a poverty-stricken Muslim population, or to the presence of immigrants from the Maghrebi Islam.

An assemblage of 76 malacological remains was retrieved from the French School in Yafo. It includes 11 species of local Mediterranean seashells and land snails, one indo-pacific bivalve, one bivalve from the Nile River and two fragments of freshwater bivalves. A cross made of mother of pearl was found in a soil accumulation of the late Ottoman period. The shells were used as construction material and as objects of aesthetic or symbolic value, possibly amulets.

The ceramic finds from the Ottoman-period layer at the French School consist of local and imported wares. The local coarse wares include Black Gaza Ware and vessels made of brown and pink ware. The imported glazed ware includes earthenware vessels, mainly kitchen wares, such as bowls and basins, as well as cooking pots. Also included among the imported vessels are fine table wares, dinner ware and breakfast sets, mostly manufactured in European factories. The ceramic material was dated to the end of the nineteenth century CE.

'Atiqot
The French School excavation encompassed three areas (A, B, C): Area A yielded a substantial volume of Crusader-period pottery, perhaps alluding to the existence of a Crusader-period moat, and late Ottoman-period building remains and a water reservoir; in Area B, a Crusader-period pedestal, as well as a late Ottoman-period well, channels and wall foundations, were exposed; and in Area C were found the remains of Crusader-period pedestals, late Ottoman-period wall remains and two pit graves of uncertain date. The remains from the late Ottoman period point to Yafo’s orderly spatial organization during the nineteenth century.

'Atiqot
The excavation on Ben Gamli’el Street yielded 30 malacological finds, including 20 specimens from clear stratigraphic contexts of the Hellenistic and Byzantine periods. The assemblage comprises 28 Mediterranean shells and two Nile River freshwater bivalves. The local seashells were mainly used as simple ornaments and in construction material, while the two imported freshwater bivalves probably attest to trade connections between Yafo and Egypt.

The Animal Bones From Ben Gamli’El Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 461–464), Nimrod Marom
'Atiqot
The excavation on Ben Gamli’el Street yielded a small assemblage of 40 animal bones retrieved from the ashy fill of a large Hellenistic-period ash pit (Stratum III). The bones represent farm animals, mostly goats, cattle and pigs, possibly indicating the economy of the rural hinterland that supported the urban settlement of Yafo. The presence of the dog burial and the high occurrence of pig bones probably attests to a non-Jewish community.

'Atiqot
Seven coins were retrieved from Hellenistic Stratum III on Ben Gamli’el Street, four were identified and dated to the third–first centuries BCE. These coins circulated at a time when the port city of Yafo was part of the Seleucid and Ptolemaic Empires, which operated a trade network along the Palestinian–Phoenician coast.

'Atiqot
Some 47 stamped and unstamped amphora fragments were retrieved from Hellenistic Stratum III on Ben Gamli’el Street. The amphorae date between the last third of the fifth century and the third quarter of the second century BCE. The amphorae originated in a wide variety of production centers, mostly from the islands of the southeastern Aegean and the western coast of Anatolia, but also from the western Mediterranean, Italy, the southern coast of Anatolia and Cyprus.
Pottery Vessels And Oil Lamps From The Iron Age, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman And Byzantine Periods From Ben Gamli’El Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 403–435), Peter Gendelman
Pottery Vessels And Oil Lamps From The Iron Age, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman And Byzantine Periods From Ben Gamli’El Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 403–435), Peter Gendelman
'Atiqot
A large pottery assemblage dating from the late Iron Age to the Byzantine period was uncovered on Ben Gamli’el Street. Most of the pottery vessels and oil lamps date to the Persian and Hellenistic periods, including a terracotta figurine of the Hellenistic period. Among the finds are many imported vessels from various workshops, reflecting the role of Yafo as one of the major port cities in the region during the Persian and Hellenistic periods.
Building Remains From The Hellenistic, Byzantine And Late Ottoman Periods On Ben Gamli’El Street, Yafo (With A Contribution By Polina Spivak) (Jaffa) (Pp. 389–402), Yoav Arbel
'Atiqot
Two areas (A, B) were excavated on Ben Gamli’el Street, yielding building remains and a waste pit from the Hellenistic period (fourth–second centuries BCE), a large quantity of Byzantine-period pottery (fourth–seventh centuries CE) and two late Ottoman-period walls (late nineteenth–early twentieth centuries CE). During the Hellenistic period, which appears to have spanned both the Ptolemaic and Seleucid periods, the city seems to have been settled by a pagan population. During the Byzantine period, the area was exploited for intensive agricultural activities and industries and served as the hinterland of the city. Urban construction in this area was resumed on a …

Faunal Remains From The Magen Avraham Compound, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 379–383), Nimrod Marom
'Atiqot
A small faunal assemblage dating to the Byzantine–Early Islamic and Ottoman periods was uncovered in the Magen Avraham Compound. The animal bones were deposited in an area that used to be part of the agricultural periphery of the town and consist mainly of caprine, cattle and equids. The presence of a relatively high number of equid remains suggests that the assemblage represents the disposal of whole animal carcasses outside the city.

'Atiqot
A total of 209 malacological remains were retrieved from the Magen Avraham Compound. The assemblage includes mostly local Mediterranean shells, as well as Indo-Pacific bivalves. Some imported specimens were brought from Europe as raw material for local crafts manufacture; one worked gastropod shell may have been used as an ornament.

'Atiqot
Human skeletal remains of at least ten adult individuals were found in the Magen Avraham Compound. Some of the bones were found scattered, while others were anatomically articulated, indicating primary burials, possibly in simple pit graves. The graves’ layout could not be traced, and no burial goods were retrieved; therefore, the dating of the finds is problematic.

'Atiqot
The excavation in the Magen Avraham Compound yielded a small collection of miscellaneous finds, most of which date to the Ottoman–British Mandate periods. The assemblage largely comprises inexpensive items of daily use and of modest value. This is in accordance with the site’s location during these periods, i.e., in the agricultural hinterland of the city.

A total of 45 coins were unearthed in the Magen Avraham Compound, 34 of which were identified. The coins date from the Early Roman (first century CE), Byzantine, Early Islamic, Crusader, Ayyubid and Mamluk, Ottoman and British Mandate periods. These finds represent the typical repertoire of coins that have previously been found in Yafo.

'Atiqot
The pottery from the Magen Avraham Compound was found in stratified contexts of the Ottoman period, as well as in topsoil and mixed contexts. It includes imported earthenware glazed vessels from production centers in different parts of the Ottoman Empire, hard-paste and porcelain vessels from Europe and locally produced vessels, such as Black Gaza Ware. The assemblage also includes other ceramic artifacts, such as smoking pipes, Marseille roof and floor tiles, wall tiles and bricks. The prevalence of imported artifacts is characteristic of Ottoman-period Yafo, reflecting the growing presence of European pilgrims and Jewish immigrants between the seventeenth and early …

'Atiqot
A small amount of pottery from the Persian, Hellenistic and Roman periods was retrieved from mixed contexts in the Magen Avraham Compound. The pottery and oil lamp ascribed to the Early Roman period provide a glimpse into a period which is generally poorly represented at Yafo, perhaps attesting to a Jewish settlement in Yafo prior to the First Jewish Revolt. The pottery assemblage of the Mid- and Late Roman periods consisted almost exclusively of imported amphorae, reflecting Yafo’s engagement in Mediterranean trade.

'Atiqot
The excavation in the Magen Avraham Compound exposed the remains of Yafo’s agricultural hinterland during the Hellenistic, Byzantine and Crusader periods. Seven strata were exposed, including a single Hellenistic-period wall, a Byzantine-period industrial (wine?) press of unusual size, Ottoman-period graves, a large late Ottoman-period well house and an irrigation channel. Most of the pottery found in fill accumulations throughout the compound dated to the Byzantine period, including mainly storage jars. Small ceramic assemblages from the Hellenistic, Roman, Early Islamic and Crusader periods, mostly unrelated to structures, were also found. The structures uncovered here furnish important insights regarding the historical development …

A total of 27 malacological remains were retrieved from the excavation within the French Hospital Compound, including common marine shells from the Mediterranean Sea. The finds were uncovered within loci dated to the Late Roman and Abbasid periods. Some of the shells from the Late Roman period might have been used as ornaments, while most of them were probably consumed as food.

The bone assemblage includes 94 animal bones, which were identified by taxon, species and size range. Most of the identified bones were discovered in installations and buildings dated to the Abbasid period. Other bones were retrieved from installations dated to the Persian, Late Roman and Crusader periods. The bone assemblage of the Abbasid period is particularly rich and comprises the remains of sheep/goats, pigs, cats, equids and mountain gazelle. The birds include chicken, rock partridge and gull. Three fish bones and a scale of a tortoise shell were also found.

The human skeletal remains retrieved from the Persian-period (fifth–fourth centuries BCE) burial caves in the French Hospital Compound represent at least 37 individuals. The anthropological examination yielded important data concerning the demographic profile of the interred, comprising infants, children and adults of a wide age range and of both sexes, which is typical of a civilian population. Some of the tombs were used for a single burial, while others housed 2–8 individuals. All the individuals were placed on their backs, in an east–west orientation, as customary in other Persian-period cemeteries along the Israeli coastline and northern valleys. These burial practices …

A Greek Inscription From The French Hospital Compound, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 221–224), Leah Di Segni
'Atiqot
A mosaic inscription was found in the French Hospital Compound, set within a round medallion. The inscription is rendered in three lines of black tesserae on a white background and below the lines, an ivy leaf in black tesserae. It is a funerary inscription meant as a blessing to the deceased and farewell from the living. Based on the absence of Christian symbols, the inscription was dated to the early Byzantine period (fourth century CE).

'Atiqot
The excavation within the French Hospital Compound yielded 14 metal artifacts, some of which are pieces of jewelry and others, domestic items. Some of the items were found in tombs, while others were retrieved from installations. Among the finds were bronze bracelets, bronze and iron rings, bronze and iron nails and a bronze spatula.
