The Ceramic Finds From The Ottoman Flour Mills In The Ridwan Gardens, ‘Akko (Pp. 83–96), Edna J. Stern Jan 2025

The Ceramic Finds From The Ottoman Flour Mills In The Ridwan Gardens, ‘Akko (Pp. 83–96), Edna J. Stern

'Atiqot

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 …

Architectural Analysis Of The Flour-Mill Compound In The Ridwan Gardens, ‘Akko (Hebrew, Pp. 141*–157*; English Summary, Pp. 116–118), Amir Freundlich

'Atiqot

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.

The Flour Mills In The Ridwan Gardens, ‘Akko (With A Contribution By Gerald Finkielsztejn) (Hebrew, Pp. 127*–140*; English Summary, Pp. 113–115), Yoav Lerer Jan 2025

The Flour Mills In The Ridwan Gardens, ‘Akko (With A Contribution By Gerald Finkielsztejn) (Hebrew, Pp. 127*–140*; English Summary, Pp. 113–115), Yoav Lerer

'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.

Fragments Of A Roman-Period Wall Painting At ‘En Ya‘Al (Naḥal Refa’Im), Jerusalem (Pp. 77–79), Silvia Rozenberg Jan 2025

Fragments Of A Roman-Period Wall Painting At ‘En Ya‘Al (Naḥal Refa’Im), Jerusalem (Pp. 77–79), Silvia Rozenberg

'Atiqot

Seventy-five painted plaster fragments were found in the Roman villa excavated on the northern bank of Naḥal Refa’im. The fragments are painted in basic colors: white, red, green and black. The poor technique and the dullness of the colors indicate that the murals should be dated between the late second and the early third centuries CE.

A Villa And A Pottery Kiln From The Late Roman–Byzantine Periods At ‘En Ya‘Al (Naḥal Refa’Im), Jerusalem (With A Contribution By Anat Cohen-Weinberger) (Hebrew, Pp. 71*–119*; English Summary, Pp. 107–110), Shlomit Weksler-Bdolah

'Atiqot

The excavation on the northern bank of Naḥal Refa’im in Jerusalem unearthed the remains of three occupation phases: architectural remains from the late Hellenistic or Early Roman period (Stratum III); part of a Roman villa (Stratum II); and a pottery kiln from the Late Roman–Early Byzantine periods (Stratum I). Sections of two rooms belonging to the Roman villa were exposed; the southern room was decorated with colored wall paintings, and its floor was adorned with mosaics. The villa may have been part of an estate granted to a Roman army veteran or officer. Above the ruins of the villa, a …

A Mosaic Floor With Xenia At ‘En YaʻAl (Naḥal Refa’Im), Jerusalem (Hebrew, Pp. 121*–126*; English Summary, Pp. 111–112), Rina Talgam

'Atiqot

Two rooms of a Late Roma-period villa were exposed on the northern bank of Naḥal Refa’im, Jerusalem. The southern room was paved with a white mosaic floor adorned with two colored panels: one, enclosed in a wide frame, contains xenia that usually adorn the floors of dining or reception rooms, and the other, is adorned with an intersecting rosette pattern. The composition, the colors and the quality of the mosaics indicate a third-century CE date.

Excavations At The Nabatean Site Of ‘En Tamar (Pp. 49–71), Tali Erickson-Gini Jan 2025

Excavations At The Nabatean Site Of ‘En Tamar (Pp. 49–71), Tali Erickson-Gini

'Atiqot

A structure was uncovered at ‘En Tamar, located south of the Dead Sea. Most of the ceramic finds and the glass material from the structure date to the Late Roman period (second–early third centuries CE). Earlier ceramic material, dated to the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods (second century BCE–early first century CE), along with Nabatean coins from these periods, were also found. The abandonment of the site in the early third century CE fits a pattern of abandoned sites that was observed in a number of sites in the Negev, possibly due to the spread of epidemic.

Subterranean Complex 147 At Maresha: The Construction Phases Of The Columbarium (Pp. 37–48), Ian Stern, Bernie Alpert, Amos Kloner Jan 2025

Subterranean Complex 147 At Maresha: The Construction Phases Of The Columbarium (Pp. 37–48), Ian Stern, Bernie Alpert, Amos Kloner

'Atiqot

Excavations in Subterranean Complex 147 in Maresha revealed several building phases of the large columbarium. The fill within the installation consisted of pottery ranging in date from the Iron Age II through the Hellenistic period, mainly from the second century BCE. Columbaria had an important function in the lifestyle of the local population in the Judean Shephelah in general, and at Maresha in particular. This is connected with fact that pigeons were a source of food, a cultic offering, and their droppings were used as fertilizer.

A Chalcolithic Settlement At Tel Shevaʻ (Hebrew, Pp. 43*–69*; English Summary, P. 106), Yael Abadi-Reiss Jan 2025

A Chalcolithic Settlement At Tel Shevaʻ (Hebrew, Pp. 43*–69*; English Summary, P. 106), Yael Abadi-Reiss

'Atiqot

Salvage excavations at Tel Shevaʻ uncovered the remains of a Chalcolithic-period settlement. The architectural remains consisted mainly of pits of different sizes and types, which were dug into the loess soil; they served as refuse pits in their final stage of use. The fill within the pits comprised soil and ash accumulations, mixed with potsherds, flints and animal bones, reflecting a broad range of domestic activities that had once been carried out on surface level. The site appears to have been the largest of the Ghassulian-culture sites in the Be’er Shevaʻ Valley.

Late Ptolemaic Assemblages Of Metal Artifacts And Bronze Coins Recovered Off The Coast Of ‘Atlit (Pp. 1–35), Ehud Galili, Danny Syon, Gerald Finkielsztejn, Varda Sussman, Guy D. Stiebel Jan 2025

Late Ptolemaic Assemblages Of Metal Artifacts And Bronze Coins Recovered Off The Coast Of ‘Atlit (Pp. 1–35), Ehud Galili, Danny Syon, Gerald Finkielsztejn, Varda Sussman, Guy D. Stiebel

'Atiqot

Artifacts uncovered during underwater excavations and surveys in the northern bay of ‘Atlit were assigned to seven assemblages dating to the Hellenistic period. The finds include a ship’s prow, a battering ram, a horse bridle and bit, bronze coins, square lead scale weights, lead pyramidal fishing sinkers, a bronze oil lamp and a lead sling shot. Some of the scale weights are inscribed and dated; most of the lead pyramidal fishing sinkers relate to a weight standard common in northern Phoenicia. It is assumed that several or all of the finds originated in the same wreckage event, possibly the consequence …

Remains From The End Of The Early Chalcolithic And The Late Chalcolithic Periods At Kaukab Springs In The Western Galilee (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–41*; English Summary, P. 103–105), Nimrod Getzov Jan 2025

Remains From The End Of The Early Chalcolithic And The Late Chalcolithic Periods At Kaukab Springs In The Western Galilee (Hebrew, Pp. 1*–41*; English Summary, P. 103–105), Nimrod Getzov

'Atiqot

Excavations at the Kaukab Springs site revealed two Chalcolithic-period strata: one from Early Chalcolithic 3 (Stratum III) and the other from the Late Chalcolithic (Stratum II). The site is important for the study of the transition between the Early Chalcolithic 3 and the Late Chalcolithic periods. The architectural traditions and the finds from each of these periods indicate a clear relationship between the Galilee sites and ‘En ‘Esur, as well as local variations in the region between the Sharon plain and the Galilee. After its abandonment in the Late Chalcolithic period, the site was reoccupied in the Intermediate Bronze Age.

Remains Of An Early Islamic Settlement And A Hellenistic (Roman?) Tomb At Khirbat Deiran, Rehovot (Hebrew, Pp. 77*–90*; English Summary, Pp. 170–173), Elena Kogan-Zehavi Jan 2025

Remains Of An Early Islamic Settlement And A Hellenistic (Roman?) Tomb At Khirbat Deiran, Rehovot (Hebrew, Pp. 77*–90*; English Summary, Pp. 170–173), Elena Kogan-Zehavi

'Atiqot

Excavation at the site, located within the modern city of Rehovot, uncovered two occupation levels: from the Hellenistic and Roman periods (Stratum 1) and from the Early Islamic period (Stratum 2). The earlier stratum included the remains of a tomb hewn in kurkar. The later stratum included four architectural phases (I–IV) of a building that was constructed in the eighth century and continued to exist until the mid-ninth century CE. The finds within the building included pottery and glass vessels, metal artifacts, coins and two pieces of cotton textile. A gemstone, depicting the god Zeus and dating to the …

The Pottery From Stratum 2 At Khirbat Deiran, Rehovot (Hebrew, Pp. 91*–104*; English Summary, Pp. 173–175), Miriam Avissar

'Atiqot

Stratum 2 of Kogan-Zehavi’s excavations at Khirbat Deiran yielded pottery dating from the eighth to mid-ninth centuries CE. The earlier, Phase I, pottery included Fine Byzantine Ware and buff-colored vessels, dating from the second half of the eighth century CE. The Phase II pottery was very rich, presenting types common in the ninth century CE: glazed and unglazed bowls, baggy-shaped jars and saqiya vessels, buff-colored jugs and a decorated oil lamp. The ceramic finds from Phase III were dominated by jars. Only a few sherds, including a yellow-glazed bowl decorated with sgraffito, were recovered from Phase IV.

The Finds From Cave 39c West Of Ḥorbat Barfiliya, Modi‘In (Pp. 1–9), Elena Kogan-Zehavi, Yehiel Zelinger

'Atiqot

Ḥorbat Barfiliya is one of the principle sites in the Modi‘in region. Surveys and salvage excavations conducted in the area revealed its agricultural nature. Two systems of irrigation were exposed; both seem to have been part of an organized initiative to establish a long-term farming enterprise. The meager pottery finds attest that the systems already existed during the later part of the Byzantine period. The rocky hills in the area were exploited for various installations, including winepresses. These operated from the end of the Hellenistic to the Ottoman periods. A cave (39C), which was first used for dwelling during the …

Local Glass Production In The Late Roman–Early Byzantine Periods In Light Of The Glass Finds From Khirbat El-Ni‘Ana (Pp. 73–154), Yael Gorin-Rosen, Natalya Katsnelson Jan 2025

Local Glass Production In The Late Roman–Early Byzantine Periods In Light Of The Glass Finds From Khirbat El-Ni‘Ana (Pp. 73–154), Yael Gorin-Rosen, Natalya Katsnelson

'Atiqot

Excavations at Khirbat el-Ni‘ana uncovered large quantities of glass vessels in a fairly good state of preservation and remains of production debris. The number of vessels, the various shapes and the quality of their fabric suggest that they are the products of a local workshop. Some of the vessel types were widespread throughout the Mediterranean Basin during the fourth–fifth centuries CE and were produced in many local workshops; thus, they are considered a widespread trend. Other vessel types appear mostly in sites in Israel and are less frequent in neighboring countries. They are absent from European assemblages.

'Atiqot

The pottery assemblage from Khirbat el-Ni‘ana is presented in two groups: waste from the Byzantine period (fourth–seventh centuries CE) and pottery from the Mamluk period. The earlier group, locally produced, including many types of basins, cooking pots and storage jars, and a substantial number of jugs and juglets, possibly manufactured in or around Jerusalem. The later group comprises material characteristic of the region, including handmade, as well as wheel-made pottery. Some of the vessels bear typical painted geometric designs.

'Atiqot

Excavations at Khirbat el-Ni‘ana yielded some 110 mold-made clay oil lamps, most of which were discovered in or around Tomb I. These lamps, spanning the time from the Late Roman, Byzantine and Early Islamic periods, are typologically related to products of workshops that operated in the Judean Shephelah region. The lamp assemblage includes local Khirbat el-Ni‘ana-type lamps that have heretofar not been found outside of this site.

'Atiqot

Two areas were excavated along the eastern fringes of Khirbat el-Ni‘ana, revealing built tombs with vaulted roofs, refuse from glass and pottery workshops and temporary hearths. The built tombs are characteristic of the southern coastal plain during the fourth century CE. The findings point to the area’s function as both a cemetery and an industrial zone—both functions were traditionally situated on the outskirts of settlements for reasons of health and environmental considerations. The settlement might have been populated by Samaritans. After a gap in time, the site was resettled during the Mamluk and Ottoman periods.

Online Media Sentiment Analysis Of Shrimp And Salmon In The United States, Jingjing Tao, Kwamena K. Quagrainie Jan 2025

Online Media Sentiment Analysis Of Shrimp And Salmon In The United States, Jingjing Tao, Kwamena K. Quagrainie

Department of Agricultural Economics Faculty Publications

There is a growing interest in the U.S. seafood and aquaculture market; however, studies utilizing online information to understand this market are limited. This study employs online media analytics to obtain insights into consumer perceptions and potential demand signals for shrimp and salmon in the U.S. Our results show that platform X is the preferred medium for shrimp and salmon discussions, with shrimp's physical quality and salmon's environmental impact being the two major perception drivers. Additionally, autoregressive modeling is conducted to explore the dynamics of net sentiments. Farmed shrimp and salmon consistently exhibit lower net sentiments compared to their wild …

A Lead Weight-Like Object From ‘En Marzev (Pp. 21–22), Lionel Holland Jan 2025

A Lead Weight-Like Object From ‘En Marzev (Pp. 21–22), Lionel Holland

'Atiqot

The lead object found in the excavations at ‘En Marzev is roughly cylindrical, with a flat top and bottom. It has a semicircular, copper or bronze hoop on top. The purpose of this object is hard to ascertain as its weight does not relate to any ancient Eastern Mediterranean weight system, and its form does not correspond to the usual form of ancient weights. It may have served as a weight for a variety of uses, e.g., on fishing lines and nets, or on looms.

Animal Bones From ‘En Marzev (Pp. 23–25), Shlomo Hellwing, Nurit Feig

'Atiqot

The bones retrieved from the Early Islamic building at ‘En Marzev were in a good state of preservation. The most abundant animal in the sample is the gazelle, followed by the horse, with a remarkably smaller amount of domesticated animals, such as sheep, goat and cattle. It seems that gazelles formed a main dietary component at this settlement, indicating that hunting played an important role there.
