Pottery From The Late Chalcolithic Period From Yehud, Ashkenazi Market (Hebrew, Pp. 43*–62*; English Summary, Pp. 165–166), Ronit Lupu
'Atiqot
The pottery vessels from the Late Chalcolithic period were retrieved from two shafts that were dug in the natural ḥamra soil. These included bowls, mostly V-shaped; wheel-made cornets; pedestal bowls and goblet; open and closed kraters; holemouths; churns; an ossuary handle; and decorated fragments, some of which might be attributed to the Pottery Neolithic period. The finds attest to the last use of the shafts as refuse pits.
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 Ẓahal Square Tunnel, Jerusalem (Pp. 231–235), Robert Kool
'Atiqot
The salvage excavation in Ẓahal Square Tunnel yielded 26 coins, 21 of which could be identified. All coins are bronze, except for three which are silver. The coins date between the Early Roman (late first century BCE) and the late Ottoman (late eighteenth–early twentieth centuries CE) periods.

'Atiqot
The excavation in the Ẓahal Square Tunnel yielded ceramic material from the Byzantine–Umayyad, Mamluk and late Ottoman periods. While only a small amount of pottery was recovered, its composition closely corresponds to that of other ceramic assemblages from the same chronological phases from Jerusalem and its surroundings. Hence, these assemblages seem to be largely of local production.

Remains From The Late Byzantine, Early Islamic, Mamluk And Late Ottoman Periods In Ẓahal Square Tunnel, Jerusalem (Pp. 193–210), Shlomit Weksler-Bdolah
'Atiqot
An excavation conducted at Ẓahal Square, outside and west of the Old City wall of Jerusalem, uncovered remains dating from the late Byzantine–Umayyad to the late Ottoman period, revealing evidence of Jerusalem’s urban expansion in different periods and its fortifications. The earliest remains are a Greek inscription, etched in bedrock during the late Byzantine–Umayyad period. Hewn walls of a deep moat and remains of a forewall from the late Early Islamic period were uncovered, allowing for a reconstruction of Jerusalem’s fortification system along the northwestern corner of the Old City. The city walls and the moat fell into disuse after …
Animal Bones From Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet (Pp. 185–190), Nimrod Marom
Animal Bones From Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet (Pp. 185–190), Nimrod Marom
'Atiqot
Salvage excavations at Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet revealed animal-bone remains, which appear to represent fills dumped inside and around the hydraulic installations. Very few remains were recovered from Hellenistic–Early Roman loci, while a somewhat larger sample was obtained from Byzantine–Umayyad loci. The faunal assemblage comprises primarily beasts of burden, such as equids and camels. The high frequencies of fractures and carnivore gnawing marks indicate little human processing of bones for food and early discard.

'Atiqot
Thirty-seven coins were unearthed in the excavations at Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet, twenty-seven of which were identified. The earliest coin is a small Seleucid ‘palm tree’ bronze, and the latest datable coin is an early Ottoman copper mangir. The majority of the coins date from the fourth–sixth century CE.

Torso Of A ‘Weary Heracles’ Marble Statuette From Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet (Pp. 167–177), Gabriel Mazor, Walid Atrash
'Atiqot
A statuette of a free-standing naked male figure of Heracles was discovered in a fill partially covering a village bath at Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet. The appearance of Heracles in Roman baths is witnessed elsewhere in the region, forming part of the bath décor and usually set in niches in the frigidarium walls, the palestra, or the natatio. A statuette of Heracles in a bathhouse, although not an exceptional Hellenic cultural expression, is a rather unique find in a remote (Jewish?) village.

'Atiqot
The glass vessels retrieved during the excavations at Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet are dated mainly to the fourth century CE, except for an aryballos handle dated to the Early Roman period and a few typical Byzantine vessels, such as wineglasses and oil lamps. Three chunks of raw glass were also discovered. The quantity and quality of the glass vessels, and the similarity in their fabric and workmanship, suggest that the site served as a local production center.

'Atiqot
Excavations at Ḥorbat Ṭarbenet in the Jezreel Valley revealed four settlement strata: Stratum IV (Hellenistic period) yielded pottery and a coin, but no architectural remains; Stratum III (Roman period) included the remains of a bathhouse; Stratum II (Byzantine period) yielded the remains of a house and a plastered installation; and Stratum I (Early Islamic period) yielded pottery and coins, but no architectural remains. The bathhouse pool (natatio) yielded a large number of tubuli and fragments of a marble statue of Heracles that might have adorned it.
Remains From Middle Bronze Age Ii And The Byzantine, Early Islamic And Ottoman Periods At Bene Beraq (With A Contribution By Maayan Shemer) (Hebrew, Pp. 33*–66*; English Summary, Pp. 241–243), Ayelet Dayan, Dor Golan, Yoav Arbel

'Atiqot
The excavation conducted at Bene Beraq yielded remains dating from Middle Bronze Age II and the Byzantine, Early Islamic and Ottoman periods. Five poorly preserved tombs and a pottery kiln were dated to the end of MB IIA–beginning of MB IIB; the kiln resembles other such installations found in the central coastal plain. It seems that the site was a small satellite site located along Naḥal Ha-Yarqon, contemporary with the large cities of Afeq-Antipatris, Yafo and Tel Gerisa. The finds from the Late Roman–Byzantine periods included many antilia vessels, pointing to the existence of an antilia well nearby. Two perpendicular …

A Middle Bronze Age Ii Burial Cave At Mazor (West) (With Contributions By Yossi Nagar, Liora K. Horwitz) (Pp. 37–73), Lilly Gershuny, Ianir Milevski
'Atiqot
A Middle Bronze Age II burial cave, reusing a Chalcolithic burial cave, was discovered during excavations carried out at Mazor (West). The Middle Bronze Age remains accumulated above the cave’s bedrock floor, utilizing the entire space. Seven individuals were discovered and about 50 intact or restorable MB II pottery vessels were retrieved, as well as three metal pins, three flint items and animal bones. It is probable that the cave, and other MB II sites in its vicinity, belonged to a system of villages and associated mortuary grounds, which were related to the main urban center at Tel Afeq.

'Atiqot
Excavations at the Chalcolithic site at Khirbat el-’Umdan yielded an assemblage of bones, teeth and horns belonging mostly to mammals: sheep, cattle and pigs. These finding are consistent with the picture that emerged from the analysis of other faunal assemblages from Ghassulian sites in the northern Negev, the coastal plain and Galilee.

The Flint Assemblage From Khirbat El-ʻUmdan, Bet Shemesh (Pp. 27–35), Ariel Vered
'Atiqot
The excavations at Khirbat el-ʻUmdan yielded a small assemblage of 277 flint artifacts dating from the Late Chalcolithic period, with only a few intrusive Paleolithic pieces. It represents an on-site flint knapping industry that focused on the production of expedient flake tools, together with evidence for the use of formal tools, especially sickle blades.

'Atiqot
Six metal artifacts were recovered from the Chalcolithic site near Khirbat el-‘Umdan: four axes, a copper chunk and a broken macehead. Three of the axes and the macehead were chemically tested, allowing for a reconstruction of ancient metalwork, the materials used and the extent of trade relations during the Chalcolithic period. The chemical composition of the axes was found to be similar to that of other contemporary items, while the macehead is a copper-lead alloy, hitherto unknown in the period.

'Atiqot
The excavation at the Chalcolithic site of Khirbat el-ʻUmdan yielded a small, typologically varied assemblage of groundstone tools. Vessels comprise the lion’s share of the group, followed by grinding and pounding utensils. The assemblage is characterized by a diversity of raw materials: limestone, flint, basalt, sandstone and beachrock. While a large portion of the assemblage was made of locally available raw materials, a considerable portion was made on non-local ones, attesting to connections with the surrounding regions, either directly or through mediating agents.

A small assemblage of Late Chalcolithic pottery was collected during the excavation at Khirbat el-ʻUmdan, including cornets, pedestalled bowls, spouted vessels, basins, holemouth cooking and storage jars, pithoi, kraters, churns and a fragment of a clay animal figurine. The assemblage compares well, both in morphology and composition, with other Late Chalcolithic assemblages in the northern Negev and the Be’er Sheva‘ Valley. The petrographic analysis of the raw materials indicated a local manufacture within the borders of the Shephelah and the nearby Judean Mountains.

'Atiqot
A small excavation near Khirbat el-‘Umdan in the lower Judean Shephelah exposed stone floors bearing remains from the Late Chalcolithic period. The rich finds from the excavation comprise pottery vessels, such as V-shaped bowls, large basins, store jars, holemouths, churns and cornets, and a fragment of a zoomorphic figurine; groundstone vessels; flint tools, including many sickle blades; and a cash of three copper axes and a copper-alloy macehead. Also found were some 30 burned olive stones and animal skeletal remains. It seems that the settlement at the site existed for a short period in the first phase of the Late …

Crusader- And Ottoman-Period Faunal Remains From The Boverel Quarter, ‘Akko (Pp. 193–197), Guy Bar-Oz
Crusader- And Ottoman-Period Faunal Remains From The Boverel Quarter, ‘Akko (Pp. 193–197), Guy Bar-Oz
'Atiqot
The excavation of the building in the Old City of ‘Akko produced a small faunal assemblage from the Crusader period (late thirteenth century CE) and several bones from an overlying Ottoman-period deposit. The majority of the bones in both strata belong to sheep, goat and cattle. Pig remains are present only in the Crusader deposits attesting to the diversity of ‘Akko’s inhabitants, and the shift that occurred in the cultural identity of its residents.

'Atiqot
During excavations within the Old City of ‘Akko, remains of a Crusader-period building (thirteenth century CE) destroyed by an intense fire were exposed. The burned layer contained charred wooden beams, samples of which were collected for botanical identification. The identified species attest that the wood was probably imported from Lebanon for roofing purposes.

The Ottoman (WIZO) building in the Old City of ‘Akko was documented by the author as a basis for its conservation. It is of the Central-Hall House type that developed in Lebanon from the iwan house, appearing in Palestine in the last quarter of the nineteenth century CE. Some 120 houses of this type were documented in the Old City of ‘Akko, comprising about 12% of the total number of houses in the Old City, and hence its significance in shaping the urban character of the city. No historical evidence was found for dating the WIZO House, and therefore its …

A Fishpond From The Roman And Byzantine Periods At ‘Illuṭ (Hebrew, Pp. 29*–48*; English Summary, Pp. 205–206), Edna Dalali-Amos, Yotam Tepper
'Atiqot
The excavation in the village of ‘Illuṭ exposed an installation comprising two plastered pools, serving during three phases (A–C). In Phase B the installation was used for fish farming (piscina), as indicated by the incorporation of antilia jars and a clay pipe in one of the pool’s walls. The installation was dated to the Middle Roman period based on the pottery finds, continuing in use until the end of the Byzantine period. This fish farm attests to consumption and economic facets of the inhabitants of the site, as well as to their high technological and agricultural skills.
The Last Years Of Crusader Acre (‘Akko) And Resettlement In The Ottoman Period: Archaeological Evidence From The Boverel Quarter (Pp. 141–186), Edna J. Stern
'Atiqot
An excavation conducted in a two-story Ottoman-period building within the Old City of ‘Akko uncovered a flagstone floor, which was probably the original floor of the late Ottoman building, dating to the later half of the eighteenth, or the early nineteenth, century CE (Stratum I). Below the floor was evidence of an early Ottoman, seventeenth-century CE occupation (Stratum II), and beneath it, a Crusader thirteenth-century CE building, which was destroyed by a fierce fire (Stratum III). It is assumed that the Crusader building was destroyed in the summer of 1291, following its conquest by the Mamluks. The phenomenon of Ottoman …

Three Iron Age Ceramic Assemblages From The Tel ‘Eton Cemetery (Pp. 121–139), Hayah Katz, Avraham Faust
'Atiqot
This article presents three tomb assemblages dated to Iron Age IIA–B. The analysis of the pottery indicates that the three tombs were in use in Iron II: Tomb C2, the earliest tomb, served in Iron IIA, perhaps continuing in use in the transitional Iron IIA–B phase; Tomb A3 was used during the later stage of Iron IIA, possibly continuing slightly into Iron IIB; and Tomb B, the latest of the three tombs, in use in Iron IIB, the eighth century BCE. The Tel ‘Eton tombs provide significant data for the continuous use of this cemetery from the Late Bronze Age …
