Water tunnels at Nahal ‘Amal (Israel)
The Mamluks extended their Medieval period control from the water-rich Nile Valley to the dry southern Levant. We try to elucidate the Mamluk way of utilizing water energy for sugar production at the Bet She’an Valley. The studied hewn tunnels served some industrial installation. We dated the tunnels to the Mamluks period, suggesting that they fed water to sugar mills, a particularly dominant industry during this period in the region. The tunnels…
Dating an ancient spring tunnel using archaeological artefacts functioning as nuclei of cave pearls
Cave pearls are spherical concentric speleothems growing radially around nuclei in shallow pools saturated with calcite. They are very rare in the Southern Levant. We present a unique assemblage of 50 cave pearls found in the Iron Age Joweizeh artificial spring tunnel in the Jerusalem Hills of Israel. Some of these deposits represent the first global evidence of formation on archaeological artefacts: pottery sherds and ancient plaster. Multi‐anal…
Evolution of water extraction technology (spring tunnels) in the Southern Levant during the last three millennia
A spring tunnel is an ancient water installation used to artificially increase the water yield of a spring through a subterranean tunnel. We have developed a database of 216 spring tunnels documented in the central region of the Southern Levant (present‐day Israel), constructed between Iron Age II and the modern era. The study focuses on the evolution of this water installation over a period of 2500 years, examining these constructions from techn…
Ancient Spring Tunnels of Jerusalem, Israel
About 210 spring tunnels were developed in Israel, most of them within its central mountain range and especially in the Jerusalem Hills. This phenomenon probably first appeared in Israel during Iron Age II, around the 8th century BCE. Spring tunnels are associated with the development of irrigated agricultural systems, landscape design and the establishment of rural settlements. This study presents for the first time a comprehensive statistical p…
The Shaft Tunnel of the Biar aqueduct of Jerusalem
The Biar aqueduct is the most sophisticated of the aqueducts supplying water to Jerusalem during classical periods. It includes the Biar spring, an underground Shaft Tunnel ∼3 km long harvesting groundwater (cuniculus), a dam, a surface channel, and a tunnel traversing a ridge. We conducted a survey of the Biar underground Shaft Tunnel, mapping all of its accessible parts (∼1200 m), facilitating a new understanding of the cutting‐edge hydrogeolog…
