Excavations at Ashqelon, Afridar—Area G
Excavations at Ashqelon, Afridar—Introduction
Tell Qudadi and Tel Gerisah
Tell Qudadi and Tel Gerisah are two multi-period sites located on the Yarkon River. Recent research has revealed that they were the only settlements along the central Coastal Plain that were inhabited during the Early Bronze Age III. Tell Qudadi and Tel Gerisah could have played important roles as an outpost and as a main inner anchorage site, respectively, in maritime activities between Old Kingdom Egypt and the North Levantine coast.Keywords: Y…
Chalcolithic Settlements in the Western Samaria Foothills
This paper presents new data on the history of the Chalcolithic settlement system in western Samaria and offers a picture of the Chalcolithic occupation of the country's highlands. Pottery assemblages found in the area suggest that clay vessels were locally produced. Given the particular assemblage types it can now be assumed that they served sedentary agrarian populations.

Feinan and the Mediterranean During the Early Bronze Age
This paper proposes that data on metallurgical activity at Feinan in the Early Bronze Age, combined with data on the distribution of copper tools in Canaan during the same period, and information from new archaeological discoveries in the area of Ashkelon and Gaza, raises the possibility that trade in copper and copper products from Feinan during certain stages of the Early Bronze Age was carried out not only by overland route to Canaan, but may …

The Egyptian Protodynastic (Late EB I) Site at Tel Ma'ahaz
In studies of the relations between Egypt and Canaan at the end of the Protodynastic Period and the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period, the site of Tel Ma'ahaz has played a central role since the 1960s. The information that has been published so far is based on surface finds and two short test excavations carried out in 1975 and 1976 (Amiran 1977; Amiran and Gophna 1993). Additional material collected at the site by its discoverer, Y. Divon, …

Wild Olive ( Olea europaea ) Stones from a Chalcolithic Cave at Shoham, Israel and their Implications
Lors de fouilles recentes menees dans la grotte chalcolithique de Shoham, visiblement destinee a des activites domestiques, des noyaux d'olive de petite taille inhabituelle ont ete mis au jour. L'article propose les resultats d'une analyse comparative des mesures de ces restes et de noyaux recents, dans le but d'operer une distinction entre olives sauvages et cultivees. Cette etude montre que les olives sauvages constituaient un element important…
The Ashkelon Trough Settlements in the Early Bronze Age I
Archaeobotanical research carried out in several dispersed Early Bronze Age Ia (ca. 3500–3350 B.C.E.) sites excavated along the Ashkelon troughs (Afridar) offers new evidence indicating trade relations between southern Canaan, Lebanon and Egypt much earlier than had been believed previously. Wood from two native Lebanese trees, Cedrus libani (Cedar of Lebanon) and Quercus cerries (Turkey Oak) found in EB Ia strata confirms the northern connection…

Settlement, Demographic, and Economic Patterns in the Highlands of Palestine in the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Periods and the Beginning of Urbanism
The central hill country of Palestine, from the Jezreel Valley in the north to the Beer-sheba Valley in the south, has been almost fully surveyed in the last two decades. The article summarizes the archaeological data on the sites and settlement patterns in the region in three phases of the fourth and third millennia B. C. E.-the Chalcolithic, the Early Bronze I, and the Early Bronze II-III-and compares them to the settlement patterns in the lowl…

The Animal Remains from the Early and Middle Bronze Ages at Tel Aphek and Tel Dalit
This study deals with the faunal remains from two Bronze Age sites Tel Aphek and Tel Dalit located in the Yarkon and Ayalon River basins of the Coastal Plain of Israel (Fig. I). The distance between the two is about 15km. Tel Aphek, a multi-period site, rises about 15m. above the affluent springs of the Yarkon River, while Tel Dalit, whose remains are exclusively from the Early Bronze Age, is located on the limestone hills southeast of Tel Aphek.…
