Rock-Cut “Bowties” of Yavne, Israel
In the course of salvage excavations southwest of Tel Yavne, remains from three distinct periods were uncovered. The earliest stratum, dating to the Intermediate Bronze Age, held 68 shaft tombs. Three of these tombs were later expanded and reused as burial caves during the late Hellenistic to late Roman periods, containing artifacts such as cooking pots, unguentaria, and glass vessels. In the final stratum of the Late Ottoman and British Mandate …
A Villa and a Hiding Underground Compound from the Late Second Temple Period in the Judean Lowlands
Horvat Duwayma (Arabic:Khirbet ed-Duwayma) is situated on a slope near a hilltop (elevation 390 m above sea level) in the southern Judean Shephelah, approximately 7 km southeast of Tel Lachish and adjacent to the modern settlement of Amatziya. The hilltop rises about 60 m above a nearby tributary of Nahal Lachish. Excavations were conducted at the site in 2010–2011 and again in 2014 in preparation for the establishment of a new settlement for eva…
An ‘Assyro-Levantine’ Stamp Seal with a Worship Scene Found near Tel Yavne
The city of Yavne is located in the southern Coastal Plain, ca. 15 km from Ashdod and ca. 40 km from Ashkelon. During an extensive archaeological excavation conducted approximately 200 m east of Tel Yavne, a large-scale pottery-production site was uncovered within layers dating to the Iron IIC (7th century BCE). A limestone seal depicting a human figure alongside symbols of worship was discovered on a working surface. This paper analyses the reli…
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…

Identifying buried byzantine-early Islamic agricultural soils in the Yavne Hinterlands, Israel
Yavne in the Hellenistic Period
From ancient times to the present day, Yavne has been an important center for several ancient cultures, a fact reflected in numerous archaeological excavations conducted throughout the modern city and its surroundings. Yavne was inhabited and flourished in nearly every period from the Late Chalcolithic to the modern era. This article focuses on the Hellenistic period, combining analysis of ancient sources, historical research, and the results of …
Roman Burial Caves South of Tel Yavneh and Roman Iamnia Town Limits
This study examines two clusters of Roman burial caves located approximately 1 km south of Tel Yavneh, forming part of a necropolis on the town’s southern perimeter. The first cluster, excavated in 1962 on Beth Gamliel hill, comprises eight rock-cut caves of loculi and arcosolia types, while the second, uncovered in 2022 in Area D, includes three caves adapted from earlier Intermediate Bronze Age shaft tombs. Analysis of architectural features, s…
A New Type of Late Roman-Period Tomb from Yavne (East)
The large-scale trial and salvage excavations at Yavne (East) uncovered the remains of seven different Roman-period burial grounds, exhibiting various burial types, including infant jar burials, simple unlined and stone-lined cist tombs, sarcophagi, a vault tomb and a mausoleum.This article focuses on a newly identified Roman-period tomb type termed "side-accessed cist tomb," the plan of which includes a horizontal entrance, a built facade and a …
Researching Chalcolithic Ivories from the Southern Levant
The Late Chalcolithic period in the Southern Levant, mainly the Ghassulian culture (mid-fifth–mid-fourth millennia BCE), heralded a new and unique trajectory in craft specialization, with ivory objects, including figurines, tools and vessels, among the outstanding ones. Hippopotamus and elephant ivory, probably of varied geographic provenience, were the raw materials employed. This paper presents two recently excavated ivory caches from the Late …

Spindle Whorls from the Chalcolithic Village of Yavne East
During the excavation seasons of 2021–2024 at the site of Yavne East, fifty-three spindle whorls have been recovered in areas Q and R2-4. Most of them date to the Late Chalcolithic Period (Ghassulian culture), while a few others to the Middle Bronze Age and Persian-Hellenistic-period. The preliminary study of the Chalcolithic assemblage revealed interesting new data about the textile industry carried out in the site of Yavne East and the southern…
A Byzantine-Period Monastery at Ḥura
A building identified as a monastery, probably associated with the nearby Byzantine settlement at Ḥorbat Ḥur, was paved with four mosaic pavements containing four Greek inscriptions and one bilingual inscription in Greek and local Syriac. The inscription in the prayer hall indicates that the building was a monastery, probably founded in 575 CE. The monastery’s cemetery, located to its southwest, was well-preserved including four sealed graves of …
Sub/semi-Subterranean Complexes in Byzantine Beer Sheva, Negev, Israel, Date, Use and Typology
Byzantine Beer Sheva presents a phenomenon of digging, lining, building, and making extensive use of sub/semi subterranean complexes. We note on the relationship between these sub/semi subterranean complex and the 'aboveground' structure and details such as the construction of the stairway, the delimitation of the earthen section formed, the installations exposed in the complexes and the form of roofing. The installations and ceramic assemblages …

Byzantine Archaeological Remains in Beer Sheva, Israel
Beer Sheba in the Byzantine period was a large and important city in the province of Palestine Tertia. It served as an administrative, religious, and military center, and seat of the Roman military commander of Palestine. Beer Sheva is mentioned in many sources, including historical texts, epigraphic sources, and archaeological research. In recent years, following archaeological excavations conducted at the city's new transportation center have b…
III. Béla király csontjainak tanúsága – Az Árpád-ház eredete
The role of applications based on machine learning is continuously growing in the industry, health sector/bioinformatics and scientific research. American researchers published a bit more than 10 years ago the first machine learning algorithms, which were able to safely predict Y-SNP based haplogroups from Y-STR data. The goal of the present study was to predict with machine learning algorithms the SNP-based subgroup of three ancient DNA samples …
Declared Pedagogical Values of Coaches at Hungarian Football Academies
This paper is based on empirical research that was carried out in the total population of the coaches employed at Hungarian football academies (N=196). The main objectives of the investigation were to reveal the coaches’ opinions about some major pedagogical views and to discover whether they realize their declared pedagogical values or not. The methods for collecting the data were a self-administered questionnaire, analysis of documents, and sem…
Coaches
Not only are coaches supposed to be excellent in their sports, but they should also be good pedagogues. However, according to public opinion, most coaches’ only aim is to reach the highest performance possible with their athletes. The objective of this paper is to examine whether this common assumption is also true of football coaches. Adapting the concept of a nationwide study of teachers’ pedagogical views, the author attempts to discover Hunga…
