The groundstone finds from the excavation at the Newe Rabin neighborhood in Or Yehuda comprise nine artifacts: basalt bowls and a lower grinding slab; quartzite(?) grinding slab, handstone and pestle; and a beachrock lower grinding slab. These finds complement the finds retrieved from two other contemporary sites nearby, probably attesting to a short-lived occupation.
