Human Skeletal Remains from the Mamilla Cave, Jerusalem
Bone and Ebony Figurines from Christian Burials in the Roman–Byzantine Necropolis of Tel Malḥata
A large cemetery dating to the Roman-Byzantine period was exposed south of Tel Malata, in the northeastern Negev Desert.Most of the burials were cist graves, comprising an individual buried according to Christian burial traditions.It is noteworthy that woman and children constitute the majority of the burials with grave goods.Three excavated cist tombs, of two women and a child, are discussed below in light of their rare burial goods, which inclu…
An Infant Jar Burial from Zarnūqa
The article presents an exceptional late Ottoman-period funerary assemblage excavated in 2001 at the former Arab village of Zarnqa, on Israel's southern coastal plain.The assemblage, which formed part of a small cemetery in which mostly children were buried, included three storage jars covered by a stone surface-one contained the remains of a newborn baby, another contained grains and the third had an unknown content.The burial and grain jars wer…
A Mother and Child Reunion? An Unusual Ottoman-Period Bedouin Pit Grave at Rahat, the Northern Negev
The skeletal remains of two individuals were found in a pit grave at Rahat, in the Northern Negev desert, dated to the Ottoman period.They were identified as a primary burial of a female, 30-50 years old, superposed by a secondary burial of a child, 10-15 years old.Anthropological studies of skeletal remains dated to the Ottoman period in Israel/Palestine are numerous, yet the secluded location of this grave and the intentional secondary burial, …
Roman-Period Burial Caves on the Slopes of Mount Carmel
A concentration of burial caves dated to the Roman period was found and excavated at orbat Mitla, on the western slopes of Mount Carmel.Anthropological remains included poorly-preserved skeletal fragments that were studied on-site.At least 65 individuals were identified in 13 caves, including infants, children and adults of both sexes, typical of a regular, 'civilian' cemetery population
Human Skeletal Remains from a Burial Cave near Ḥorbat Zelef
The skeletal remains from the burial cave near Ḥorbat Zelef were very poorly preserved. In this article, only teeth from the Late Bronze Age I and II levels are presented, belonging to a minimum of 27 individuals. Fortunately, the tooth assemblage was large enough to reconstruct basic demographic parameters of the Ḥorbat Zelef population
Late Bronze Age Burials between el-Jib/Giv‘on (Gibeon) and Nebi Samwil, Northwest of Jerusalem
The Late Bronze Age I burial cave excavated northwest of Jerusalem is an uncommon discovery in the central hill country, contributing to our understanding of population distribution patterns during this period.Unlike the coastal areas, which feature numerous large Late Bronze Age cemeteries, the mountainous regions, characterized by large cemeteries from the Middle Bronze Age, present only sporadic burial caves in Late Bronze Age I, each containi…
The Persian-Period Necropolis in the French Hospital Compound, Yafo (Jaffa)
The human skeletal remains retrieved from the Persian-period (fifth–fourth centuries BCE) burial caves in the French Hospital Compound represent at least 37 individuals. The anthropological examination yielded important data concerning the demographic profile of the interred, comprising infants, children and adults of a wide age range and of both sexes, which is typical of a civilian population. Some of the tombs were used for a single burial, wh…
Middle Bronze Age Human Skeletal Remains from Nahal Rimmonim
The excavation at Nahal Rimmonim yielded the remains of seven individuals interred in jar burials and a grave dating, respectively, to Middle Bronze Age I–II and III. The MB I–II storage-jar burials were uncovered in a residential area, comprising three infants—a well-documented trait of the period. The MB III remains include the primary burial of four individuals in stone-built graves: three adults and a child aged three–four years

The Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B Site of Aḥihud (Western Galilee, Israel)
The recent excavations at the site of Aḥihud uncovered the remains of an Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B village on the bank of Nahal Ḥilazon (Acre valley, Israel) tributary channel. The site is in an ecotone between the western Galilee hills and the northern coastal plain. The lithic assemblage from the site includes typical PPNB arrowheads (about a third are El-Khiam and Helwan types) as well as hundreds of sickle blades. The fauna include eviden…
Alone in a cave
The remains of a >50-years-old male, thus far representing the only complete skeleton dated to the Early Chalcolithic (Wadi Rabah) period in Israel, were recovered in a cave in the Judaean desert (Nahal Mishmar, F1-003). The old male suffered abscesses in the maxilla following tooth caries, and a well-healed trauma in the left tibial midshaft. Skull and mandibular morphology were described using plain measurements, indices and angles, and compare…
Violence in Hasmonean Judea
During a salvage excavation conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority, a mass grave containing the skeletal remains from 124 individuals, many with evidence of weapon injuries, was discovered in a water cistern outside the Old City of Jerusalem. Radiocarbon dates derived from human bone and the date of the material finds suggest the skeletal remains date to the end of the 2nd century or the beginning of the 1st century BCE. The aim of this re…
The Wrath of the Lion
Recent excavations in the Russian Compound in Jerusalem provide evidence of internal and external struggles in late Hellenistic Judea. The article presents the main findings and attempts to link them to historical events that occurred in Hasmonean Judea
Sharp force trauma to a 1,000-year-old skull from the Jerusalem mountains
Well-preserved human skull, two upper vertebral bodies, and bones of the right hand were found in a remote cave in the Jerusalem mountains. The individual was identified as an adult male, 30-40 years old, who was C-14 dated to the 11th century. It was attributed to the local, Bedouin population. The skull manifested four sharp force trauma lesions, resulted from interpersonal violence in different occasions: Two represent past events, one is peri…
A Late Bronze Age II clay coffin from Tel Shaddud in the Central Jezreel Valley, Israel
To the memory of Trude Dothan 1922–2016During trial excavations carried out in 2013 on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority, a seemingly isolated clay coffin with anthropoid lid, containing a single primary burial, was uncovered within a 6 m × 5 m probe bordering the lower east slope of Tel Shaddud in the Jezreel Valley. It lay at the bottom of a tightly constricted burial pit, about 1.8 m below the present surface. Subsequent salvage excav…

A Case of Dwarfism from the Byzantine City Rehovot-in-the-Negev, Israel
Skeletons of dwarfs have been found in many archaeological sites from around the world. Nevertheless, their descriptions (morphologically and metrically) are very limited. We describe herein the skeleton of a male dwarf, approximately 35-50 years old, found in the Byzantine cemetery (5th-8thcentury CE) of Rehovot-in-the-Negev, southern Israel. Living stature was estimated at 120-125 cm. Detailed morphological skeletal descriptions and morphometri…
Bone reburial in Israel
Weapon injuries in the 12th century Crusader garrison of Vadum Iacob Castle, Galilee
This project analyses the wounds sustained by those defending the Crusader castle of Vadum Iacob, which is to the north of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. To our knowledge this is the first Crusader castle garrison to be excavated and studied, and consequently gives unique information concerning medieval battle wounds. The Muslim forces of Saladin stormed the castle in August 1179. The skeletal remains of five of the garrison who were killed during…

What can we make of these fragments? Excavation at ‘Mamilla’ Cave, Byzantine period, Jerusalem
This paper reports on the pathology and discrete traits of 1388 vertebrae uncovered from a mass burial site at ‘Mamilla’ cave, Jerusalem, dated to the Byzantine period. Observations of the vertebrae were aimed at reconstructing an anthropological profile of the population, by describing such factors as the frequency of pathology and discrete traits, and age at death of the population. The results show that most of the victims were relatively youn…
Brief communication
A rare pathological mandible, manifesting bilateral absence of the condyles, is discussed. The pathology was identified as hemifacial microsomia. The mandible, dated to the Byzantine period in Israel, manifests bilateral aplasia of the condyles and extreme shortness, but normal width, of the body. The extremely well-developed coronoid process, the grooved masseter insertion area, and the manifestation of a medial pterygoid tubercle (MPT) suggest …
