Ḥorbat ‘Ofrat In The Late Hellenistic, Roman And Byzantine Periods (Pp. 1–68), Yardenna Alexandre
'Atiqot
At the site, located near Shefar’am in the Lower Galilee, six architectural strata (VI–I) were discerned. Their dates range from the late Hellenistic to the late Byzantine/Early Islamic periods. During the late Hellenistic period (Hasmonean period; second century BCE), there was a small village at the site, which was possibly settled by Judean colonizers. The finds from the Early Roman period include Kefar Ḥananya wares and a few chalkstone vessel fragments, which hint at the Jewish identity of the inhabitants. In the Middle Roman period (third–fourth centuries CE), there was renewed activity at the site; the pottery forms, including Kefar …

The excavation in the southeastern part of the City of David yielded 27 coins, 20 of which were identified. All the coins are made of bronze and were minted in Jerusalem. They were all dated to the last 110 years before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, the latest dating from “Year 4” of the First Jewish Revolt (69/70 CE).

'Atiqot
In the excavation conducted east of the Siloam Pool, a plastered pool was partially exposed along a segment of the outer face of the dam wall. The pool was dated, based on the plaster that coated it and the pottery and coins retrieved from its foundations, to the later part of the first century CE. These findings attest that the pool was constructed during the Great Revolt, probably in its last year, and was in use for a short time only.
Coins From The Pools Of ‘Ein El-Jarab, Ḥammat Gader (Pp. 143–151), Ariel Berman, Gabriela Bijovsky
Coins From The Pools Of ‘Ein El-Jarab, Ḥammat Gader (Pp. 143–151), Ariel Berman, Gabriela Bijovsky
'Atiqot
A total of 189 bronze coins, 52 of which were identifiable, were retrieved from the Ḥammat Gader excavations. According to the numismatic evidence, the slope east of ‘Ein el-Jarab was first settled during the second half of the fourth century CE (Straum 4). The bulk of the coins assigned to Stratum 3 date to the fourth–sixth centuries CE, the latest belonging to the Umayyad caliph al-Walid I, dated to the beginning of the eighth century CE and an Umayyad post-Reform fals. All the coins associated with Stratum 2 are Umayyad post-Reform issues, for the most part dating to the eighth …
An Early Roman-Period Residence At Nein And Episodes Of The First Jewish Revolt In The Jezreel Valley (With A Contribution By Gabriela Bijovsky) (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–26*; English Summary, Pp. 271–272), Fadi Abu-Zidan, Yardenna Alexandre, Danny Syon
An Early Roman-Period Residence At Nein And Episodes Of The First Jewish Revolt In The Jezreel Valley (With A Contribution By Gabriela Bijovsky) (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–26*; English Summary, Pp. 271–272), Fadi Abu-Zidan, Yardenna Alexandre, Danny Syon
'Atiqot
A salvage excavation in Nein revealed architectural remains of four strata: a late Hellenistic-period (first century BCE) building; a luxurious Early Roman-period residence (late first century BCE to second half of the first century CE); two Mamluk-period ṭabuns; and a late Ottoman-period cesspit and house foundations. The Early Roman-period residence yielded many finds: a rich pottery assemblage, including imported ESA bowls, glass vessels, gold earrings, a bronze bracelet, an iron housekey, a bronze pendant, gems, aucissa fibulae and faience beads. A skeleton of a woman was exposed under a layer of ash and collapsed building stones, accompanied by two gold …

Coins From GivʻAti Parking Lot, Jerusalem (Pp. 339–345), Gabriela Bijovsky
'Atiqot
A total of 177 coins were discovered in the Giv‘ati Parking Lot excavations. The fifth–sixth-century CE assemblage included old coins that remained in circulation for centuries after their date of issue. Coins dated to the sixth–seventh centuries CE include a number of nummi and multiples of the nummus. The latest identifiable coin is a rare Arab-Byzantine imitation of a dodecanummium attributed to the mint of Fustat in Egypt.

Excavations On The Southwestern Margins Of Giv‘Ati Parking Lot, Jerusalem: Markers Of Byzantine–Early Islamic Transition (Pp. 303–338), Yana Tchekhanovets
'Atiqot
The small-scale excavation on the southwestern margins of Giv‘ati Parking Lot exposed important findings dating to the transition between the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods. A flagstone-paved street dating from the Byzantine period was exposed, representing one of the major thoroughfares of Jerusalem that served an important pilgrimage route. This street ceased to exist at the beginning of the Early Islamic period when the function of the area changed from residential to industrial. The remains of a small-scale metallurgical workshop, including numerous copper alloy fragments, metal slags, pottery crucible fragments and large amounts of ash, were dated to the Umayyad …
The Coins From The Monastery At Har Ḥoma (Pp. 297–300), Gabriela Bijovsky
The Coins From The Monastery At Har Ḥoma (Pp. 297–300), Gabriela Bijovsky
'Atiqot
Eleven coins were discovered in the excavation of the monastery at Har Ḥoma, including a small hoard of three Byzantine gold solidi that was found hidden in the entrance of one of the monastery rooms. This hoard is of great value and would have equaled two months of food supply for all the monks who lived in the coenobium. The reasons for its concealment remain unknown; however, it may be linked to events related to the Persian invasion of 614 CE.

'Atiqot
The excavations within the Western Wall Tunnels yielded 15 coins, all bronze or copper-alloy, of which 10 were identifiable. The analysis of the coins in their stratigraphic context aids in dating the construction of the main Valley Street (in the Tyropoeon Valley) and the Stepped Street that extended from the area of Robinson’s Arch to the southern point of the Tyropoeon Valley in the City of David.

'Atiqot
Salvage excavations at Kerem Maharal, on the southwestern slopes of the Carmel range, revealed the remains of 12 occupation layers from ten periods: Stratum XII, the Geometric Kebaran period (fourteenth–thirteenth millennia BP); Strata X–XI, the Persian–early Hellenistic periods (sixth–fourth centuries BCE); Stratum IX, the Roman period (late first–early second century CE); Strata VIII–VII, the Byzantine period (fifth–seventh centuries CE); Stratum VI, the late Byzantine–beginning of the Early Islamic periods (seventh–eighth centuries CE); Stratum V, eleventh century CE; Stratum IV, twelfth–thirteenth centuries CE; Stratum III, the Mamluk period (late thirteenth–fifteenth centuries CE); Stratum II, the Ottoman and British Mandate periods (until …
Remains From The Chalcolithic, Roman, Byzantine And Ottoman Periods At Yehud, Ashkenazi Market (With Contributions By Peter Gendelman, Lior Rauchberger, Donald T. Ariel)(Hebrew, Pp. 1*–42*; English Summary, Pp. 163–164), Eriola Jakoel
'Atiqot
The excavation conducted in the southwestern part of the city of Yehud revealed the remains of deep shafts that contained pottery vessels and flint artifacts typical of the Late Chalcolithic period; these were located on the periphery of a large settlement, whose remains were not uncovered. During the Late Roman period (second–third centuries CE), an industrial area operated at the site, mainly for the production of pottery. The pottery kilns produced household vessels, such as bowls, cooking pots, jugs and juglets. Glass finds and the remains of glass production debris in this area might point to the existence of a …

The Coins From Gane Ṭal (Pp. 273–284), Donald T. Ariel
'Atiqot
The excavation at Gane Ṭal yielded coins dating from the Early–Late Roman, Byzantine, and Ayyūbid and Mamluk periods. Most of the coins date from the Byzantine period, from the fourth–fifth and the sixth–seventh centuries CE. Noteworthy is the fact that most of the sixth–seventh-century coins date to the period before 541/2 CE, the time of the Justinianic plague. It is possible that the decline of the settlement was related to this plague; however, it might have also been the outcome of other historical circumstances.

An Agricultural Settlement And Cemetery From The Roman, Byzantine And Mamluk Periods At Gane Ṭal (Pp. 145–210), Yoav Arbel, Uzi ‘Ad
'Atiqot
Excavations at Gane Ṭal uncovered sporadic pre-Roman remains; large, plastered pits dating to the Early Roman period (first–early second centuries CE); a rural settlement and cemetery from the Late Roman and Byzantine periods; and meager architectural remains from the Mamluk period. Two settlement phases were related to the Byzantine period: an earlier occupation, probably a farmstead, comprising a large assemblage of simple grinding stones, clay ovens and a domestic ceramic assemblage; and a later occupation, including a manor house and an adjacent, multi-compartment storage facility. The source of wealth at the site was probably the production of wine, as attested …

The excavation in the neighborhood of Barne‘a B and C, Ashqelon, was conducted in two locations (Areas A and B). A series of small buildings was exposed in Area A and part of a cemetery, in Area B. The pottery assemblage from Area A is rather homogeneous, including many storage jars, as well as cooking and serving vessels. The glass vessels are dated mainly to the Byzantine period. The majority of the coins belong to the sixth century CE, including a small hoard of gold coins. The remains excavated at Barne‘a B–C seem to be part of the northern Byzantine …

'Atiqot
During the excavations at the Armon Ha-Naẓiv Tunnel, 61 coins were discovered, 33 of them unidentifiable. All the coins are bronze except for one silver Crusader obole. The coins uncovered within the foundation trench of the tunnel date its construction to the first century BCE, from the days of Alexander Jannaeus to Herod. The remainder of the coins is related to the later periods of use of the aqueduct and adjacent installations, during the Byzantine and Islamic periods.

The Coins From Yafo (Jaffa), Jerusalem Boulevard And Its Vicinity (Pp. 135–141), Robert Kool
'Atiqot
The coin finds from Jerusalem Boulevard in Yafo represent a wide chronological range, from the second century BCE to the early years of the State of Israel, reflecting the city’s long and multiple-layered history. Among the coins were two Seleucid-period small bronzes; a single prutah from the Roman period; three Byzantine-period coins—a small pre-reform copper nummus, a post-reform nummus and a follis; Ummayad post-reform coppers; two medieval silver coins—one of them is a square-cut dirham; and five Late Ottoman currencies, including a gold 10 franc coin of Napoleon III and a pierced 5 Milliemes.
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 …

'Atiqot
In the course of conservation works carried out in the flour-mill compound in ‘Akko, the remains of the mills were documented and their various elements and methods of operation were studied. An analysis of the water-powered technology indicated that the mills were operated by the slanting-chute technology. The water from Naḥal Na‘aman was conveyed to the mills by channels. These mills are part of the flour-production industry that flourished in the country during the Ottoman period.
The Flour Mills In The Ridwan Gardens, ‘Akko (With A Contribution By Gerald Finkielsztejn) (Hebrew, Pp. 127*–140*; English Summary, Pp. 113–115), Yoav Lerer
'Atiqot
The flour mills, located on an island southeast of Tel ‘Akko, were powered by water, which was diverted to the mills by means of channels. The excavations exposed fifteen pairs of millstones set within five buildings. Pottery finds and Zanjid coins attest that the mills operated as early as the Crusader period (twelfth–thirteenth centuries CE); the main period of use was in the Ottoman period, from the eighteenth until 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.
