JEWISH QUARTER EXCAVATIONS IN THE OLD CITY OF JERUSALEM
Conducted by Nahman Avigad, 1969 - 1982 Vol. X
From 1969 to 1982 extensive archaeological excavations were conducted in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem under the direction of the late Professor Nahman Avigad. During these excavations various construction remains were found, as well as numerous vessels and artifacts from all periods of settlement, which extend from the late First Temple period through the Ottoman period.
Among the major archaeological discoveries are portions of fortifications, including the Broad Wall of the late First Temple period and the First Wall of the late Second Temple period; residences of the Upper City of Jerusalem dated to the late Second Temple period, including the Burnt House and the Palatial Mansion; the Cardo and the Nea Church of the Byzantine period; a covered bazaar dated to the Crusader period; and portions of the southern fortifications of the Islamic-period city. These and other finds have changed many long-accepted ideas regarding the lengthy history of the Southwestern Hill (part of which is today’s Jewish Quarter) as well as the size and urban topography of ancient Jerusalem.
This is the tenth volume in the final reports series of the excavations conducted in the Jewish Quarter. It presents the remains of the Peristyle House (excavation Area M). The remains are part of a large, luxurious, private dwelling, its walls lavishly adorned with multicolor frescos and tiled floors in opus sectile style. It contained a courtyard surrounded by colonnades (peristyle), various rooms and several miqwaʾot (Jewish ritual baths). The house was built in the 1st century CE and abandoned shortly before the sack of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE.
Volume X presents the architectural remains of the Peristyle House and many small finds including pottery, stone vessels, coins and glass items, as well as various unique objects of bronze and two carved and inscribed bone discs.
Excavations at Tell Qasile, Part Three, The Iron Age Town (The 1948–1950, 1959, 1982–1992 Seasons)
Qedem 66
Amihai Mazar
This volume presents the final report on the excavations at Tell Qasile during 1949–1950 and 1959, directed by Benjamin Mazar, and during 1982–1992, directed by Amihai Mazar and Smadar Harpazi-Ofer. The 1948–1950 seasons were the first academic archaeological excavations in the State of Israel and paved the way for the study of Philistine culture before excavations in Philistia proper. Excavations during 1971–1974 revealed the unique sacred enclosure, dated to the twelfth–early tenth centuries BCE, which was published in two volumes of Qedem in 1980 and 1985. The 1982–1992 seasons expanded the excavation of the Iron I residential areas.
The small port town on the northern bank of the Yarkon River became a cornerstone for the study of Iron I–IIA in Israel’s coastal plain. This volume focuses on the town plan and the residential and administrative buildings. The 13 chapters include analyses of stratigraphy and architecture, the publication of rich pottery assemblages and other artifacts, several scientific studies, and a concluding discussion of the implications of the excavations for the study of the Iron Age in the southern Levant.
