Geochemical investigation of Late Roman glass and available raw material at the industrial complex of Tel Yavne, Israel
A Late Roman primary-glass production site was discovered near Tel Yavne, Israel, within a large Late Roman-Byzantine industrial complex. Due to its location near several sandy quartz-rich deposits, the site offers a unique opportunity to simultaneously investigate natron glass production and raw material sourcing in the southern Levant. The glass and the nearby sand deposits were investigated using grain-size, mineralogy, detailed chemical compo…
Human Response to Paleo-Hydrological Fluctuations at ‘En Ḥaẓeva, Israel
The present study investigates human behaviour in response to paleo-hydrological fluctuations at the archaeological site of ‘En Ḥaẓeva, located in the arid Arabah Valley, Israel. Such hydrological changes were determined through various indicators, including the taxonomic and isotopic composition of mollusk shells, as well as sedimentological and geological observations. A survey of the vicinity indicates that the site is located along a marginal…
Identifying buried byzantine-early Islamic agricultural soils in the Yavne Hinterlands, Israel
Geoarchaeology at the marine waterfront of a coastal urban center
Provenance of Bronze Age stone anchors, a case study from the Carmel coast, Israel
Geochemical analyses of Jewish chalk vessel remains from Roman‐era production and settlement sites in the southern Levant
Vessels made of chalk are common at Jewish sites throughout the southern Levant during the Roman period, apparently because stone was perceived to be impervious to ritual impurity. The study analyses samples from settlement and production sites to determine whether distinctive geochemical compositions might relate to specific source locations, and thus to provide the basis for conducting future large‐scale provenance studies. Distinctions between…
Climatic and environmental conditions in the Western Galilee, during Late Middle and Upper Paleolithic periods, based on speleothems from Manot Cave, Israel
Chalkstone Vessels from Sepphoris
Stone vessels were used in Judaea and the Galilee from the second half of the 1st century b.c.e. until the 2nd century c.e., when it is widely accepted that they were phased out. This study focuses on the major types of chalkstone vessels uncovered in Roman Sepphoris, identifies the unique forms in the assemblage, and discusses the technological issues pertaining to their production. The findings presented in this study suggest that the stone ves…
Before the massive modern human dispersal into Eurasia
Radiocarbon chronology of Manot Cave, Israel and Upper Paleolithic dispersals
Manot Cave radiocarbon dates establish Levantine chronology, which is critical for understanding Upper Paleolithic dispersals.
Levantine cranium from Manot Cave (Israel) foreshadows the first European modern humans
