In the years 1983-2013, an archaeological expedition under the auspices of the Department of Land of Israel Studies and Archaeology of Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, was active on Mount Carmel, Israel. The expedition comprised archaeologists, team members, students and other professionals, as well as pupils from schools in the Sharon and Daliyat el-Carmel. This book describes ten rural mountain sites through which it seeks to reconstruct the character of all the settlements on the mountain and at its foot, from the Persian through the Byzantine periods.

"'While the individual sites are well described, historical settlement trends and wider contexts are only briefly discussed. As such the volume makes accessible-most of all through plans, photographs and artefact drawings-an indicative sample of Roman and Byzantine rural sites and provides an entry point into the more specialist literature.'
