Kefar Gabirol: El-Qubeibe In The Late Ottoman Period (With A Contribution By Alexander Glick) (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–16*; English Summary, Pp. 225–226), Eriola Jakoel Jan 2025

Kefar Gabirol: El-Qubeibe In The Late Ottoman Period (With A Contribution By Alexander Glick) (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–16*; English Summary, Pp. 225–226), Eriola Jakoel

'Atiqot

The excavation at Kefar Gabirol revealed the remains of the Arab village el-Qubeibe, dating from the Ottoman period and the days of the British Mandate. Four adjacent architectural units were exposed, mostly preserved to their foundation course. The finds include local and imported pottery vessels, glass vessels, stone objects, metal finds, coins, animal bones and military artifacts. The proximity of the architectural units points to a dense rural settlement, and the various installations are domestic in nature.

Mamluk And Early Ottoman Pottery From Ramla: Defining Local And Imported Fabrics (Pp. 129–170), Edna J. Stern, Ron Toueg, Anastasia Shapiro Jan 2025

Mamluk And Early Ottoman Pottery From Ramla: Defining Local And Imported Fabrics (Pp. 129–170), Edna J. Stern, Ron Toueg, Anastasia Shapiro

'Atiqot

This article presents a study of the Mamluk–early Ottoman-period ceramic assemblage from the excavation on Ha-Eẓel Street, Ramla. The study set out to determine the geological source of the raw materials, and to explore fabrics and forms of local and imported wares to pinpoint the production locale of each. For the imports, the tracing of the fabric composition was based on previously published production centers. This study is a pioneer effort to fill the gap regarding the forms and fabrics of the pottery of these periods, whether found in clear architectural contexts, or not.

Remains From The Byzantine To The Late Ottoman–British Mandate Periods At Mazor (Pp. 67–123), Itamar Taxel, David Amit Jan 2025

Remains From The Byzantine To The Late Ottoman–British Mandate Periods At Mazor (Pp. 67–123), Itamar Taxel, David Amit

'Atiqot

The excavations at Mazor yielded architectural remains from the Byzantine and late Ottoman–British Mandate periods, and poor remains from the Early Islamic and Mamluk–early Ottoman periods; the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods are represented by small finds only. Three buildings were exposed, typical of the Byzantine period in the region (mid-fifth–early sixth centuries CE), which belonged to either a private estate or an agricultural monastery. The settlement probably formed part of the eastern hinterland of the urban center at Lod (Lydda/Diospolis). The next substantial phase at the site began in the Ottoman period (eighteenth century CE), with the establishment of …

Petrographic Examination Of Plaster Samples From The Iron Age Site At Rosh Pinna (Ja‘Una) (Pp. 59–62), Anastasia Shapiro Jan 2025

Petrographic Examination Of Plaster Samples From The Iron Age Site At Rosh Pinna (Ja‘Una) (Pp. 59–62), Anastasia Shapiro

'Atiqot

This article presents a study of five plaster samples coated with coloring material, which were unearthed in Iron I–IIA destruction layers at Rosh Pinna. The main aim of the examination was to determine the mineralogical composition of the plaster and to obtain information concerning technological aspects of how the plaster had been prepared. The petrographic examination of the plaster samples provides valuable information concerning the quality of materials and the technology used to coat the inner walls of Iron Age buildings.

Settlement Remains From The Iron Age, Hellenistic, Roman–Byzantine And Early Islamic Periods On The Ancient Tell Of Rosh Pinna (Ja‘Una) (With A Contribution By Danny Syon) (Pp. 1–57), Yosef Stepansky Jan 2025

Settlement Remains From The Iron Age, Hellenistic, Roman–Byzantine And Early Islamic Periods On The Ancient Tell Of Rosh Pinna (Ja‘Una) (With A Contribution By Danny Syon) (Pp. 1–57), Yosef Stepansky

'Atiqot

Excavations on the ancient tell of Rosh Pinna revealed a vigorous settlement during the Iron Age and throughout the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and possibly the Early Islamic periods. In Iron I, Rosh Pinna seems to have been a substantial settlement in the eastern Galilee, as attested by impressive architectural remains with plastered and red-painted walls. During Iron II, Rosh Pinna was part of a strong Israelite settlement system. This stratum showed evidence of a violent destruction in the tenth or ninth century BCE, possibly throwing light on an event recorded in the Bible, such as the Aramean raid by Ben …

Analysis Of The Late Chalcolithic-Period Flint Assemblage From Kafr ‘Ana, Or Yehuda (Pp. 235–245), Alla Yaroshevich

'Atiqot

The excavations in Or Yehuda yielded 107 flint artifacts reflecting several industries characteristic of the Late Chalcolithic period. Worth of mention is the presence of Canaanean blades, which appear to be an integral part of the Late Chalcolithic-period toolkit at the site. In addition, the results of an analysis of a stain observed on one of the sickle blades, plausibly the remains of an adhesive, are discussed.

'Atiqot

The excavations in Or Yehuda yielded accumulations of Late Chalcolithic-period pottery, including bowls, basins, pithoi, jars, pedestalled bowls and cornets. The Chalcolithic assemblage is typical of the last quarter of the fourth millennium BCE in the southern regions of Israel. It is an important addition to the body of Late Chalcolithic-period material in the region of the Yarqon and Ayyalon basins.

Late Ottoman-Period Buildings And Late Chalcolithic-Period Finds At Kafr ‘Ana, Or Yehuda (With A Contribution By Alexander Glick) (Pp. 203–217), Yoav Arbel, Felix Volynsky

'Atiqot

A salvage excavation conducted in the Newe Rabin neighborhood of Or Yehuda revealed the remains of the Arab village of Kafr ‘Ana, which was settled between the seventeenth and the mid-twentieth century CE. The main architectural remains belong to buildings that were erected in the Late Ottoman period; considerable accumulations of finds, but no architectural remains, date from the late Chalcolithic period. The finds from the Late Ottoman period include domestic vessels, fragments of Marseilles roof tiles and several fragments of glass bracelets, as well as two unusual finds: a bronze chain with a pendant and an unusual pistol from …

The Late Ottoman-Period Pottery From Kafr ‘Ana, Or Yehuda (Pp. 219–227), Anna De Vincenz

'Atiqot

The Ottoman-period pottery from the excavations in Or Yehuda originated from buildings that were dated to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The material is characteristic of a rural site and includes household vessels for storage, cooking and serving. Very few imported vessels were found, supporting the rural character of the site. Roof tiles—both locally made and imported—a fragment of a smoking pipe and a fragment of a glazed imported plate were also found.

Coins From Yafo (Jaffa), Yehuda Ha-Yammit Street (Pp. 197–199), Robert Kool

'Atiqot

Eight coins were found in the excavations on Yehuda Ha-Yammit Street in Yafo, four of which were identified. The coins range in date from the Byzantine period (beginning of the fourth century CE) to the mid-thirteenth century CE. Two of the later medieval-period coins are of interest: a copper tank of the Armenian ruler Levon I, minted in Sis, and the other, a fals dated to the reign of Al-Naṣir Yusuf II, the Ayyubid ruler of Damascus in the mid-thirteenth century CE.

'Atiqot

During the salvage excavation on Yehuda Ha-Yammit Street, Yafo, 150 glass vessels and fragments were found. The diagnostic vessels dated mainly to the Crusader period and the modern era. Vessels from the modern era were found in large quantities and included many bottle fragments, window fragments and small fragments of bracelets. Of the bottles, one is an old Bovril bottle, and the other, bearing an inscription in Hebrew and a small Star of David, was probably locally produced and served as a container for a carbonated beverage (gazoz).

'Atiqot

The excavation conducted on Yehuda Ha-Yammit Street in Yafo revealed the remains of three strata: graves from the Persian and Hellenistic periods; a Crusader-period moat; and late Ottoman-period wells. The moat, dated to the end of the Crusader period (thirteenth century CE), was hewn in the kurkar rock and lined with retaining walls. The finds retrieved from within the moat fill included potsherds and glass finds dated to the Crusader period. An Ayyubid coin of Al-Naṣir Yusuf II, found in a probe next to the moat’s southern wall, probably attests that the moat was destructed during Baybars’ conquest of Yafo …

Ritual Baths (Miqva‘Ot), Cisterns And Other Remains On The Fringes Of The Ancient Settlement In Ben Shemen (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–18*; English Summary, Pp. 255–256), Ronit Lupu

'Atiqot

The excavation within the precincts of the ancient site of Ben Shemen revealed three ritual baths (miqva‘ot), four cisterns, a quarry and a cave. The finds were mainly retrieved from fills within the installations, including pottery, glass and coins dating from the Hellenistic, Early Roman, Late Roman–Byzantine and Mamluk periods. Of special interest are the finds from the Early Roman period, dating between the Great Jewish Revolt and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (mid-first to the beginning of the second centuries CE). These add important information regarding the landscape of the Ben Shemen area and the larger region of the Lodian …

A Nabatean Roadside Temple At Ḥorbat Ḥaẓaẓa In The Negev Highlands (With A Contribution By Donald T. Ariel) (Pp. 145–172), Tali Erickson-Gini Jan 2025

A Nabatean Roadside Temple At Ḥorbat Ḥaẓaẓa In The Negev Highlands (With A Contribution By Donald T. Ariel) (Pp. 145–172), Tali Erickson-Gini

'Atiqot

The site was established in the mid-first century CE during the Nabatean rule over the area and was destructed in the second century CE, probably due to an earthquake. After a gap, the site was partially occupied in the post-annexation (second–third centuries CE) and early Byzantine (Phase 3; fourth–mid-fifth centuries CE) periods. Based on architectural considerations, the presence of large rectangular stone basins and numerous Nabataean coroplastic objects, it is suggested that the building served as a roadside temple along the road established by the Nabateans on the eastern side of the ‘Arava Valley.

Animal Bones From Iron Age And Mamluk-Period Contexts In Ḥorbat ‘Ofrat (Pp. 129–144), Nimrod Marom Jan 2025

Animal Bones From Iron Age And Mamluk-Period Contexts In Ḥorbat ‘Ofrat (Pp. 129–144), Nimrod Marom

'Atiqot

The excavations at Ḥorbat ‘Ofrat yielded a small assemblage of animal bones from Iron II contexts and a medium-sized sample of bones from a Mamluk building. The Iron II sample indicates a non-specialized economy, probably practiced by town-dwellers, alongside sporadic hunting. The Mamluk-period faunal remains attest to a husbandry regime, as well as hunting. The zooarchaeological finds from the Mamluk period suggest the presence of high-status individuals, either Christian pilgrims on their way to Nazareth or itinerant Muslim elites on a hunting foray.

'Atiqot

The excavation at Ḥorbat ‘Ofrat unearthed remains from Iron Age II and the late Persian–early Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Crusader, Mamluk and Ottoman periods. The main findings are from Iron Age II and the Crusader–Mamluk periods. During Iron Age IIA, a small, possibly fortified, town was established on the hilltop, continuing into Iron IIB, with some evidence of a destruction or abandonment, and new buildings were erected in Iron IIC. The Iron IIA–C pottery at the site spans the tenth–seventh centuries BCE. A Mamluk-period building, with an earlier phase in the Crusader period, included pottery, glass vessels and a few coins …

Geomorphological Setting And Palaeoenvironment Of The Pottery Neolithic Site At Tel Yosef (Tell Esh-Sheikh Ḥasan) (Pp. 61–64), Arlene Miller Rosen

'Atiqot

The Pottery Neolithic site at Tel Yosef is located on the southern fringe of the Ḥarod Valley, on heavy clay vertisol soils, formed in the marshy environment of the valley. Several springs, situated within easy walking distance from the site, served convenient water resources for the prehistoric residents. A deep geological section at the eastern edge of the site allowed for a reconstruction of the landscape and environmental history of the site’s vicinity.

'Atiqot

Sixty groundstone artifacts were unearthed in the Tel Yosef excavations. Most of the artifacts were made from limestone or dolomite, some of them were made of fine-grained or vesicular basalt, sandstone, beachrock, granite and exotic minerals, such as quartzite. The Tel Yosef groundstone assemblage exhibits a high degree of similarity to other Pottery Neolithic groundstone assemblages, inter alia in type frequencies.

The Flint Assemblage Of The Pottery Neolithic Site Of Tel Yosef (Tell Esh-Sheikh Ḥasan) (Pp. 29–52), Hamoudi Khalaily

'Atiqot

The flint assemblage of the Pottery Neolithic site of Tel Yosef was analyzed based on its stratigraphic position. Strata III and II yielded most of the flint artifacts, some of them were attributed to the Jericho IX culture, while the majority was dated exclusively to the Yarmukian culture. The Stratum I assemblage comprised objects dating to the Wadi Rabah phase. Nine tools, which predate the Pottery Neolithic period, possibly indicate human activity at the site prior to the Stratum III occupation.

'Atiqot

The Neolithic site of Tel Yosef, located at the foot of the Gilbo‘a Mountains, is an important addition to the densely populated Harod and Bet She’an Valleys during the Pottery Neolithic period. Three strata were excavated and assigned to the PPNC/Early Pottery Neolithic (Stratum III), Early Pottery Neolithic (Stratum II) and Late Pottery Neolithic (Stratum I) periods. In Stratum III, both rectilinear and curvilinear buildings were found, whereas in Stratum II, the buildings were exclusively rectilinear. The architectural remains in Strata III and II are evidence of site organization and village planning. The site was abandoned in the late fifth …
