Columbarium Towers and Other Structures In the Environs of Shivta
This paper presents new evidence of pigeon-breeding in the Negev in the Roman and Byzantine periods. Field research conducted between 2000 and 2004 identified and studied four towers in the environs of Shivta. The towers were constructed for the purpose of raising of pigeons, which provided both meat and fertilizer. Each tower potentially housed 1000-1500 breeding pigeons, with an annual yield of up to 9000 chicks and 15 tons of fertilizer. Other…
Brass Chains from a Public Building in the Area of the Bathhouse at Tiberias
This paper presents a description and analysis of a long section of brass chain discovered in recent excavations of the bathhouse at Tiberias. Segments of a similar chain were uncovered in earlier excavations at the site, and are also published here. Comparative analysis shows these objects to be chains for the suspension of lamps from a ceiling. Textual, artefactual and art historical evidence suggests that they were manufactured in the late ten…

A Climatic Change in the Early Byzantine Period? Some Archaeological Evidence
Palaeoclimatic studies have pointed to a substantial increase in precipitation in the Roman Near East in the early fourth century (around 300 c.e.) and the beginning of a generally more humid period that lasted for some three centuries. The archaeological data from Palestine described here may support the hypothesis of increased humidity during this period. This paper examines some of the implications of the postulated climatic change for the ext…

The Founding of the New Laura
We have various written accounts of disagreements that broke out in the monastic communities in the Judean desert. One example is the dispute between Gerasimus and members of the laura he had founded near the Jordan River.2 According to the anonymous author of the biography of Gerasimus, some of the cell dwellers of the laura requested an improvement in their quality of life (permission to cook food in their cells and to light a lamp during night…
