Petrographic Analysis Of The Pottery From Naḥal Tut (Pp. 191–195), Amir Gorzalczany
Petrographic Analysis Of The Pottery From Naḥal Tut (Pp. 191–195), Amir Gorzalczany
'Atiqot
Nine samples of Persian-period wares were selected for analysis. Five petrographic groups were identified, pointing to the presence of local wares, close-range imports from the Carmel shore and long-range imports from the Aegean area or western Cyprus. It seems that the trade or exchange patterns at Naḥal Tut Site VIII were oriented overseas

The Stone Anchor From Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 113–115), Jacob Sharvit
'Atiqot
The anchor is a triangular shaped flat slab of limestone with rounded corners and one unfinished elliptical hole. It seems to belong to the ‘weight anchors’ group.
Persian-Period Metal Finds From Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 93–107), Sariel Shalev, Kamil Sari
Persian-Period Metal Finds From Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 93–107), Sariel Shalev, Kamil Sari
'Atiqot
More than 100 metal objects dating to the Persian period (fifth–fourth centuries BCE) were unearthed in the excavations at Tel Mikhal. The assemblage included weapons (arrowheads); tools and implements (e.g., knives, needles, nails and tacks); weights; jewelry (bracelets, fibulae, pins and spatulae); a Tanit figurine; and an Egyptian amulet. The arrowheads were of the Irano-Scytic type, made of tin-bronze. All the arrowheads were left as cast, without mechanical treatment. Among the tools and implements, nails form the largest group; they were made of unalloyed copper and tin-bronze. The ten fibulae found at the site were made of tin-bronze; all underwent …
Stamped Amphora Handles From Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 89–91), Donald T. Ariel
Stamped Amphora Handles From Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 89–91), Donald T. Ariel
'Atiqot
Three stamped amphora handles were recovered from the excavations at Tel Mikhal. Two are Rhodian, while the third is most likely the handle of a Samian amphora.
Petrographic Analysis Of Two Ballast Stones From Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 67–69), Amir Gorzalczany
Petrographic Analysis Of Two Ballast Stones From Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 67–69), Amir Gorzalczany
'Atiqot
Both ballast stones were reused in a Persian-period installation. Their analysis revealed that they were of plutonic material, thus pointing to a distant provenance, perhaps in the Cyprus area. The stones were probably loaded on a merchant ship on its way from the eastern Mediterranean to the Tel Mikhal anchorage.
Coins From Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 71–88), Donald T. Ariel
Coins From Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 71–88), Donald T. Ariel
'Atiqot
Thirty-eight coins were found in the excavation on the Northern Hill at Tel Mikhal, 33 were identified: 18 isolated coins, and 15 coins that formed part of a Persian-period hoard. The isolated coins are mainly of the Persian period, probably deriving from one phase of occupation that began in the second quarter of the fourth century BCE. The war between Ptolemy I and Antigonus possibly marks the end of the Persian stratum. The later numismatic evidence at the site indicates that the Northern Hill may have been occupied only during the Seleucid period. The hoard comprises Athenian-style tetradrachms, dating to …
Petrographic Analysis Of The Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) Pottery (Pp. 57–65), Amir Gorzalczany
Petrographic Analysis Of The Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) Pottery (Pp. 57–65), Amir Gorzalczany
'Atiqot
Thirty-six vessels were submitted for petrographic analysis, most of them from the Persian period and several from Middle Bronze Age II. Several wasters from the kilns were analyzed as well. The results point to a large variety of pottery types in the Persian period, which were divided into three main groups: local products; short- to medium-range distance imports; and long-distance imports. These finds parallel those identified at other southern coastal sites, which show an overwhelming amount of imported pottery.

The Pottery From The Iaa Excavations At Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 21–56), Lev Arie Kapitaikin
'Atiqot
Three main assemblages were identified in the pottery from the IAA excavations at Tel Mikhal: Persian coarse wares, imported pottery and pottery from three kilns (Area B1). The Persian wares, including mortaria, stands, kraters and jars, date to the later part of the Persian period (450–300 BCE). The imported Persian-period wares include decorated sherds of Cypriot or Eastern Greek origin, Attic pottery and undecorated imported vessels, such as amphorae and mortaria, dating to the last three quarters of the fourth century BCE. The pottery from Kiln 461 includes forms typical of the Persian period and miniature-sized (votive?) Persian-period vessels. Kilns …
The 1996 Excavations Along The Northern Hill At Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 1–19), Amir Gorzalczany
The 1996 Excavations Along The Northern Hill At Tel Mikhal (Tel Michal) (Pp. 1–19), Amir Gorzalczany
'Atiqot
Excavations on the Northern Hill at Tel Mikhal revealed rich finds, in stark contrast with the poorly preserved and scant architectural remains. The earliest settlement here dates to prehistoric times, continuing into the Middle Bronze Age, when a ceramic industry operated at the site. In the Iron Age, settlement was sporadic, and mainly winepresses were unearthed. Toward the end of the Persian period, the area functioned as an industrial area for pottery production and a metal industry, as well as an area for storage and commerce. In the Hellenistic period, the site was also used for industry and storage. No …
The Molluscs From The French School On Yefet Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 529–532), Inbar Ktalav
The Molluscs From The French School On Yefet Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 529–532), Inbar Ktalav
'Atiqot
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 Zooarchaeological Assemblage From The French School On Yefet Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 513–527), Nimrod Marom
'Atiqot
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.
Ceramic And Porcelain Vessels Of The Ottoman Period From The French School On Yefet Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 497–512), Anna De Vincenz
Ceramic And Porcelain Vessels Of The Ottoman Period From The French School On Yefet Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 497–512), Anna De Vincenz
'Atiqot
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.
The Molluscs From Ben Gamli’El Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 465–467), Inbar Ktalav
The Molluscs From Ben Gamli’El Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 465–467), Inbar Ktalav
'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.
Remains From The Crusader And Late Ottoman Periods At The French School On Yefet Street, Yafo (Jaffa) (With Contributions By Edna J. Stern, Brigitte Ouahnouna, Alexander Glick And Polina Spivak) (Pp. 469–496), Yoav Arbel, Limor Talmi

'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.

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
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.

Miscellaneous Finds From The Magen Avraham Compound, Yafo (Jaffa) (Pp. 363–372), Yoav Arbel
'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.

'Atiqot
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.
