A typical group of Crusader glass vessels was found in the “Ganor Compound” in Yafo, as well as a single bottle from the late tenth and early eleventh centuries CE. The Crusader glass mainly includes beakers and bottles of common types. Remains of glass production were also found: small chunks of raw glass, a small glass drop and remains of bricks, walls or floors of the furnaces; these could belong to either primary or secondary production stages. It seems that most of the vessels were locally made.

Excavations in the “Ganor Compound” in Yafo exposed potsherds from the Early Islamic (eighth–eleventh centuries CE) to the end of the Crusader (twelfth–thirteenth centuries CE) periods. The Early Islamic pottery includes glazed bowls, kraters, a cooking pot, a jar, jugs and amphoriskoi; a stone-bowl handle was also found. The ceramic assemblage from the Crusader period consists of two main groups: local and imported vessels. The local pottery includes glazed and unglazed bowls, a krater, cooking pots, frying pans, a table amphora, jugs, a juglet and oil lamps. The imported vessels attest to flourishing trade between the city port of Yafo …

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.

'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), …

The excavations on Jerusalem Boulevard in Yafo yielded about 40 glass objects. The major finds are medicine bottles, medical ampules and cosmetic or perfume containers, dating from the end of the nineteenth to the first half of the twentieth centuries (British Mandate). Inscriptions on the bottles indicate that there existed a pharmacy on-site. This glass repertoire highlights an aspect of daily life in Palestine at the beginning of the twentieth century.

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 …

The Ottoman-period pottery uncovered on Jerusalem Boulevard in Yafo includes well-known types, dating from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries CE. These include hard paste and porcelain vessels, glazed vessels such as Didymoteicho and Çanakkale Wares, and coarse-ware vessels such as Gaza Ware and other local wares. Imitations of Chinese porcelain were observed, such as the use of transfer-printing technique and Sponge Ware. Also found were a Meissen coffee cup, clay pipes of the chibouk type, narghile heads, floor tiles and glass bracelets, typical of the Ottoman period. The numerous imported vessels in the assemblage correlate with the status of …

Eight coins were unearthed at Moshav Ha-Bonim. Three of the identified coins originated in a significant archaeological context: a bronze nummus of Constantine I and two Byzantine-period coins. Noteworthy is a quasi-autonomous bronze coin that was minted at the ancient port city of Dora under Roman rule.

Several fragments of decorated entablature and liturgical elements were uncovered within the ecclesiastical complex at Moshav Ha-Bonim. Most of the fragments were discarded into a cistern near the southern aisle of the church. Several limestone cornice fragments were found, as well as a marble spiral-fluted column, a limestone pinecone-shaped finial, a limestone chancel screen, a marble rectangular offering altar and a marble sigma table top. These were all probably originally part of the furnishings of the nearby church.

Three areas (A–C) were excavated, comprising four occupation layers dating from the first–second centuries CE, the third–fourth centuries CE, the fifth century CE and the seventh–eighth centuries CE. A trefoil-apsed church dating to the fifth century CE was exposed in Area B. The apse was built over a crypt that most probably contained the remains of martyrs or saints. The finds recovered from the church include pottery, glass, coins, marble fragments of a table and columns, attesting that it was in use until the Muslim conquest of the country in the seventh century CE. In Area A, complex winepresses, quarries …

The animal remains recovered during the salvage excavations in Cave 900 were interspersed among human skeletal remains, ceramics, weapons and ornaments. It is apparent that the faunal remains represent exclusively domestic sheep (Ovis aries) and goat (Capra hircus) that were slaughtered as part of Bronze Age mortuary rituals. This assemblage provides additional evidence for the widespread nature of the funeral feast in both the Intermediate Bronze Age and Middle Bronze Age IIB.

A group of quarrying tools was recovered from Area B of the Third Wall excavations, approximately 400 m northwest of Damascus Gate, Jerusalem. The tools were found side-by-side, one atop the other, and therefore, seem to be part of a stonemason’s tool kit. Among the tools are splitting wedges and wedge slats. This is the first time that so large a group of ancient quarrying tools has been exposed in situ in an archaeological excavation. The tools were probably used in a quarry dating to the Second Temple period.

Seven Middle Bronze Age II vessels from Cave 900 were analyzed. They were divided into two petrographic groups: Group 1, which included a bowl and a ring flask, and Group 2, which included two Tell el-Yahudiyeh juglets, a jug and a juglet; the rhyton can be related to either of the two groups. The raw materials of both groups are available near the site.

A total of 107 pottery vessels were discovered in the cave, dating from the Intermediate Bronze Age and Middle Bronze Age II. The Intermediate Bronze Age assemblage was found in situ and as such, is an important contribution to the study of this period in greater Jerusalem. The finds from this period include jars, a four-spouted lamp and a stopper. The MB II pottery includes piriform juglets, globular bowls, jugs, store jars and dipper juglets. Three unique specimens were found: an unusually decorated Tell el-Yahudiyeh juglet; a ring flask—the earliest of its kind in Canaan; and an intact bull-shaped rython. …

Excavations on the eastern slope of Tel Yizra‘’el, near the spring of ‘En Yizra‘’el, revealed two periods, represented mainly by ceramic finds: the Intermediate Bronze Age, and, to a lesser extent, Early Bronze Age III. The discovery of an Intermediate Bronze Age habitation at Tel Yizra‘’el fills a lacuna in the Intermediate Bronze Age settlement pattern on the western foothills of Mt. Gilboa, at the south–central approach to the Jezreel Valley.

Burial Cave 900 in Naḥal Refa’im, Jerusalem, exposed two main burial phases: the early phase dated to the Intermediate Bronze Age and the later, to Middle Bronze Age II. The finds from the Intermediate Bronze Age layer included the bones of a single individual and several pottery vessels. Above this layer were two MB II burial levels: the early level included the remains of 12 individuals, attesting to a multiple burial, and the later level comprised seven burial groups, each representing the secondary burial of one individual and his personal items, as well as animal bones.

'Atiqot
Clay tobacco pipes and nargile heads were unearthed in the flour mills in the Ridwan Gardens, ‘Akko. They were most probably used by the workers of the mills. Based on previous researches and studies, the tobacco pipes and the nargile heads should be dated between the eighteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries CE.

The pottery assemblage from the excavation of the ‘Akko Mills includes mainly Late Ottoman wares (eighteenth–nineteenth centuries CE), as well as two earlier sherds dating to the Crusader and Mamluk periods. The Ottoman pottery includes unglazed local wares, Rashaya el-Fukhar painted wares, imported cooking vessels and imported glazed bowls and a basin. The findings indicate that imported vessels were not considered luxury ware and were used by the workers in the mills for daily consumption. The pottery was probably brought to ‘Akko by sea, reflecting the local and international maritime trade that took place at the port of ‘Akko during …

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.

'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.
