Keywords: building, quarry, winepress, hinterland
Five excavation areas were investigated at Horbat Nazur, between Nahal ‘Iron in the north and Nahal Narbeta in the south. In Areas A and B the remains of a massive building, dating from the Hellenistic or possibly the Persian period, were uncovered. Area C was probably part of the agricultural hinterland of the settlement, revealing various installations, terrace walls and fences of unknown date. In Area E, two burial caves, quarries and a winepress were unearthed, all dating to the Byzantine period.
