The pottery retrieved from the excavations on Rabbi Yehuda Me-Raguza Street included sherds dated to the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods, providing testimony to the earliest urban occupation of Yafo’s Lower City. The Hellenistic assemblage consists of Fine Table Wares, almost exclusively Eastern Mediterranean imports, household and cooking wares, and local and regionally produced containers. The finds from the Early Roman period included only a handful of fragmentary vessels.
