  • Identifying Cultural Habits and Economical Preferences in the Islamic Period, Mount Zion, Jerusalem

    L Namdar, Jennifer Zimni et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Islamic Archaeology•2024

    Archaeological and historical sources describe differently the course of events that occurred during the Islamic conquest of Jerusalem. Was the transition from the Byzantine to the Islamic period a short and dramatic event or a long and steady process? This study aims to examine the Islamic cultural influences over Jerusalem during the Byzantine/Umayyad period and later post-earthquake of the 8th century CE. Thus, we carried out a study of Mount …

  • First Evidence of Trade in Galilean Salted Fish on the Carmel Coast in the Early Islamic Period

    Open Access•Sierra Harding, Omri Lernau et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Archaeology•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 1

    The production and maritime trade of salted-fish products are well documented in the western Mediterranean during the Classical and Roman periods. Ichthyological remains found within amphorae in shipwrecks and other archaeological contexts provide evidence for long-distance exchange based on the biogeographical distributions of fish species. The Ma‘agan Mikhael B shipwreck (mid-seventh to mid-eighth century ad ) found on the Carmel coast of Israe…

  • Fish Imported from a Distance and Consumed at Tel Reḥov

    Omri Lernau•ARTICLE•Near Eastern Archaeology•2022•References: 2

    Excavations at Tel Reḥov brought to light an assemblage of fish remains, dated to different periods covering almost the entire era of occupation of the site. Most kinds of fish were probably purchased in markets along the Mediterranean coast, including local marine and freshwater fish and also several kinds of fish imported from the Nile and from the hypersaline lagoon of Bardawil. Few fish were imported to Reḥov from the Red Sea. The long-lastin…

  • The Pentateuchal Dietary Proscription against Finless and Scaleless Aquatic Species in Light of Ancient Fish Remains

    Yonatan Adler, Omri Lernau•ARTICLE•Tel Aviv•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 6

    The origins and early history of the pentateuchal prohibition against eating finless and scaleless aquatic species (Lev 11:9–12; Deut 14:9–10) has yet to merit a detailed investigation. The present study is an initiatory attempt to attend to this lacuna by analysing 56 zooarchaeological assemblages of fish remains from 30 sites throughout the southern Levant from the Late Bronze Age through to the end of the Byzantine period (ca. 1550 BCE to 640 …

  • Fishing, fish consumption, urbanism and migrants at Tel Bet Yerah, 3200-2700 BC

    Open Access•Omri Lernau, Jamie Shapiro et al.•ARTICLE•Antiquity•2021•Cited by: 6•References: 21

    The role and significance of fish and fishing in the ancient Near East has been little studied. A new assemblage of fish remains and fishing gear recovered from Bronze Age Bet Yerah on the Sea of Galilee, however, offers insights into the transition from village to town life, and illuminates interactions between local populations and incoming groups. The assemblage also reveals temporal and spatial variations in the utilisation of local fish reso…

  • Estimations of sizes of fish from subfossil bones with a logarithmic regression model

    Omri Lernau, Moshe Ben-Horin•ARTICLE•Environmental Archaeology•2016•Cited by: 2•References: 1

    Measurements of bones of ancient fish from archaeological excavations allow estimates of the sizes of the original fish, which may add important aspects to the archaeological story. Currently, these estimates are calculated using regression models derived from data collected from samples of recent fish of different sizes. The linear and power regression models which are in common use have some drawbacks. In this preliminary report, we propose fou…

  • Feasting in Paradise

    Deirdre N Fulton, Yuval Gadot et al.•ARTICLE•Bulletin of the American Schools…•2015

    In 2008, a large number of vessels, animal bones, and figurines were uncovered in a Late Iron Age II deposit at Ramat Raḥel. The ceramic and faunal remains indicate the presence of a ritual deposit that was intentionally placed below the floor of the central courtyard of the palatial administrative structure. During Aharoni's excavations at the site (1954, 1959–1962), another ritual pit with even larger numbers of pottery vessels and figurines wa…

  • Analysis of Fish Bones from the Tantura F Shipwreck, Israel

    Open Access•Ofra Barkai, Omri Lernau et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeofauna•2013•Cited by: 3•References: 3

    Underwater excavations of the Tantura F shipwreck in the Dor/Tantura lagoon, Israel, which dated to the local early Islamic period, exposed the remains of amphorae with tens of thousands of fish remains. Taxonomic identification exhibited the preponderance of tiny cichlids (Cichlidae). Moreover, elements of the entire skeleton were represented in the assemblages. We therefore concluded that the amphorae were probably filled with fish sauce. We di…

  • Reducing disparities in mammography-use in a multicultural population in Israel

    The interventions implemented by MHS may have increased mammography-use in all population groups, decreasing disparities between the groups, however the differences between Jewish and Arab women have not been completely eliminated and indicate a need for further targeted interventions. No significant socioeconomic disparities in mammography-use were observed
