The finds within the French Hospital Compound included potsherds dating from the Umayyad to the Mamluk periods. The Umayyad-period finds include an Egyptian Red Slip Ware bowl. From the Abbasid period (eighth–eleventh centuries CE), roughly made basins, bowls, a cooking pot, jars, jugs and a fragment of a late Fine Byzantine Ware cup were found, alongside special items, such as a pomegranate-shaped container and a zoomorphic vessel. The Crusader and Mamluk periods are represented by bowls, dating from the second half of the twelfth century to the thirteenth century CE, and a jug dating from the late twelfth century–late fourteenth century CE. The finds from the site attest to continuous activity during the Early Islamic period up until the early Mamluk period.
