Marine Magnetic Survey of a Submerged Roman Harbour, Caesarea Maritima, Israel
A marine geophysical survey was conducted at Caesarea Maritima, Israel, to map the buried structure of King Herod's Roman harbour. Magnetic surveys reveal the presence of an extensive hydraulic concrete foundation below the ruined harbour moles. The magnetic anomaly patterns indicate that the concrete foundation was laid out in header fashion along N-S and W-E trending segments to form two large ‘artificial islands’. Magnetic lows within the stru…
Clay models of Phoenician vessels in the Hecht Museum at the University of Haifa, Israel
Two clay models of boats have recently been added to the collection of the Hecht Museum at the University of Haifa. The models are of rowing boats, with three and five pairs of oarsmen respectively. They probably represent harbour service boats or ceremonial sailings near a harbour. Their analysis is based on similar artefacts found underwater along the same coast and related to the same Phoenician culture. The origin of the artefacts is apparent…

Three-hole composite stone anchors from a medieval context at Caesarea Maritima, Israel
Three-holed stone anchors have been considered the earliest ‘composite anchors’, replacing single-hole ‘weight anchors’ of the Bronze Age. Though there is inconclusive evidence as to the first appearance of this new, revolutionary type, the data from land sites attest its use by the end of the 13th century BCE. Specimens of this anchor have been used as a testimony for Iron Age maritime activity of the Phoenicians and related maritime groups at v…
Caesarea Maritima
This deluxe volume contains 40 papers from an international symposium - held on January 3-11, 1995 - on Caesarea Maritima, a celebrated Jewish, Roman, and Early Christian city. Climaxing a major excavation campaign in 1992-95, the book treats the city's archaeology, history, and culture comprehensively, from urban development and economy to epigraphy, sculpture, and ceramics. Papers on Caesarea and religious thought discuss Origen, Eusebius, rabb…
Introduction
Caesarea and Recent ScholarshipWith this book, and the archaeological excavations it represents, Caesarea at last begins to rank among the well-known classical Mediterranean cities.I Investigation of its art and architecture, its urban development and economy, its metropolitan role in the province of Palestine, and its contributions to religious thought and political ideology all prove exceptionally rewarding.Caesarea Maritima, more commonly Caes…

The Philistines in the Western Jezreel Valley
Pottery vessels decorated in typical Philistine bichrome style were found in almost every archaeological site excavated in the Jezreel Valley. In many other sites within the area that were studied only by surface survey, decorated sherds of the same type were found. Some of the surveyed sites are small fortified fortresses, others are unwalled villages that might be considered early Israelite settlements. The ashlar fortresses and the Philistine …

The City Walls of Straton's Tower
The problem of the location of the Hellenistic town that preceded Herodian Caesarea can be reconsidered in light of recent work by the Caesarea Ancient Harbor Excavation Project (CAHEP). The structures, stratigraphy, and datable small finds exposed during these excavations, along with data from earlier research, illustrate a tentative topographic and architectural picture of pre-Herodian times that would have a logical common layout of a single u…

The Caesarea Ancient Harbor Excavation Project (C.A.H.E.P.)
Underwater and shoreline survey and excavation at the Herodian harbor of Sebastos, the port of Caesarea Maritima on the Mediterranean coast of Israel, have provided important new information on Roman harbor design and construction. Local and imported materials were carefully selected and used to construct two immense breakwaters that framed outer and inner basins. Hydraulic concrete was used in a sophisticated manner, and ingenious sluice gates a…
The Thera Ships
The ships of the naval procession of the miniature fresco from West House, Akrotiri, Thera, are examined in the context of their eastern Mediterranean background. Features of the Thera ships are traced to their Cycladic and Egyptian origins and are shown to reflect the functions of the craft and the maritime conditions under which they operated. Archaeological and textual evidence suggests that the Thera ships are bidirectional vessels suited to …
