Ancient Jaffa from the Persian to the Byzantine Period
Kaplan Excavations (1955-1981)
by Orit Tsuf
The work undertaken by Orit Tsuf represents an important first step toward the full publication of Jacob Kaplan’s and Haya Ritter-Kaplan’s excavations in Jaffa and its necropolis at Abu Kabir, all of which took place between 1955 and 1974. Part I is devoted to the excavations, among others of the “Sounding X” with its Persian to Byzantine remains, the Residence in Area C, the Agora of Jaffa, the Historic Sacred Center (Tel Yaffo) and Hellenistic to Byzantine graves. Part II focuses on the excavated objects. At the core of the study stands the fully illustrated pottery collection of ca. 1200 ceramic objects and fragments dating from Iron Age to Byzantine Period. Further chapters are devoted to glass vessels, stone vessels and metal finds.
