12 | Excavations At Efrata: A Burial Ground From The Intermediate And Middle Bronze Ages, Rivka Gonen

IAA Reports—Monograph Series of the Israel Antiquities Authority

This volume presents the results of the 1979 excavations at the site of Efrata, a hill on the Hebron–Jerusalem road. On the summit is a tumulus, and burial grounds of shaft tombs on the slopes were in use during the Intermediate Bronze Age (IBA) and Middle Bronze Age II (MB II). The hill was apparently an isolated cemetery intensively used by semi-nomadic pastoralists. The shaft tombs were first hewn during IBA, and after a short gap (MB I), reused in MB II. The pottery and small finds are presented, and analysis of the human remains indicates that the burials in …

13 | Tel Te’O: A Neolithic, Chalcolithic, And Early Bronze Age Site In The Ḥula Valley, Emanuel Eisenberg, Avi Gopher, Raphael Greenberg

IAA Reports—Monograph Series of the Israel Antiquities Authority

This multi-level site in the Ḥula Valley revealed a rare pre- and proto-historic sequence extending from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period (PPNB), through the Pottery Neolithic period (PN), until it was finally abandoned in the Early Bronze Age II; it was again occupied during medieval times. The abundant water resources were the probable reason for the continued settlement here, despite the difficulties presented by the marshy environment.

The settlements were apparently small villages based on simple agriculture and husbandry throughout their existence, representing local variations of the known cultures of the various periods. The Chalcolithic settlement shows affinities with the Golan …

11 | The Al-Ṣubayba (Nimrod) Fortress: Towers 11 And 9, Moshe Hartal

IAA Reports—Monograph Series of the Israel Antiquities Authority

This volume presents the results of the 1993 excavations in two towers at the impressive medieval ‘Al-Subayba (Nimrod) fortress in the Golan Heights, on the southern slopes of Mt. Hermon. It was built by the Ayyubids in the 13th century with the purpose of guarding a major access route to Damascus against armies coming from the west. It was later rebuilt as a palace and mosque by the Mamluks, and finally destroyed by an earthquake. The excavations cleared Tower 11 to facilitate the exit route to the postern gate. The history and building technology of the fortress are discussed.

10 | The Synagogue At Korazim: The 1962–1964, 1980–1987 Excavations, Ze’Ev Yeivin

IAA Reports—Monograph Series of the Israel Antiquities Authority

The town of Korazim is of special interest to Christendom, and thus was frequently mentioned by scholars and travelers to the Holy Land. The identification of Korazim with Khirbat Karazeh is now almost universally accepted. The site was extensively surveyed and excavated in 1962–1964, under the direction of Ze’ev Yeivin on behalf of the Department of Antiquities. Based on these excavations, the layout of the town and the setting of the synagogue within it could be elucidated. In 1980­–1987, excavations at the site were resumed, during which some 30 probes were carried out in the synagogue and its vicinity.

9 | Monastic Settlements In South Sinai In The Byzantine Period: The Archaeological Remains, Uzi Dahari

IAA Reports—Monograph Series of the Israel Antiquities Authority

The early Byzantine period, especially the fourth–seventh centuries CE, saw the prosperity of a Christian monastic movement in South Sinai. This community was centered around Jebel Musa, which Christian tradition identified with Mt. Sinai. This study’s main aims are to present the relevant archaeological material, based on fieldwork carried out in the late 1970s, to publish all the sites defined as monastic settlements in South Sinai, and to provide a general picture of Sinai monasticism based on the archaeological data and historical sources. The historical sources are analyzed only when they contribute to our understanding of sites; the monastic way …

During the survey of the caves in the Jericho area, Cave No. 13 revealed a uniquely well-preserved burial dating to the early 4th millennium BCE, accompanied by burial goods that have rarely been preserved elsewhere, due to the conditions of the cave. The middle-aged male buried together with a unique flint knife anda wooden bow and arrows, among other gifts, was termed the “Warrior”, although he may have been a hunter rather than warrior. Other perishable objects that so rarely survive the millennia include textiles, mats, a basket and leather sandals. A wide range of research topics, analyses and conservation …

Following surveys and excavations in the area of the Rephaim Valley, within the framework of the Rephaim Valley Project, the valley was revealed to have been densely settled throughout the ages.

This volume presents the excavations at Manaḥat.

Excavations in the stone mounds revealed that small farmsteads from MB I were later built upon by MB IIB village dwellings. Scarce remains of a LB II phase …

The Kidron Valley was one of the main burial grounds of First Temple-period Jerusalem, and numerous tombs were also hewn here during the Second Temple period. During road works in the valley, three large, elaborate Second Temple-period tombs were exposed, which contained an abundance of rich and intact finds, some still in situ, including pottery, glass, jewelry, a sarcophagus and many ossuaries, some inscribed. The finds also provided evidence that the tombs were reused during the Roman and Byzantine periods.
