(pp. 147–155)

Keywords: numismatics, Lod Shephelah, Modi‘in, Bar Kokhba Revolt, ethnicity
Forty-seven coins were discovered in the excavation at Khirbat Burnat (Southwest); three were unidentifiable. The majority of the coins were found in the dwelling complex, and dated mostly to the Seleucid through the Early Roman periods. The assemblage also includes a few Late Roman, Byzantine and Mamluk coins. The numismatic finds show a clear predominance of Jewish coins struck in Jerusalem, and confirm the dating of the complex from the end of the second century BCE to the second century CE.
