A Salvage Excavation at Horbat Rozez
(pp. 107–137)
Eli Yannai
Keywords: Carmel, settlement, imported vessels
Horbat Rozez is located on the southeastern slope of Ramat Ha-Nadiv, between Zikhron Ya‘aqov and Binyamina. Excavation at the site exposed six strata, dating from the Iron Age (VI), the Persian (V–IV), Hellenistic (III), Byzantine (II) and Mamluk–Ottoman (I) periods. The architectural remains from Strata V–II point to the domestic nature of the buildings. The pottery finds relate to the occupation periods discovered at the site. Worth of mention are an imported jug from Greece or Western Anatolia and a
skyphos
from the Persian period; decorated jugs from the Hellenistic period;
saqiya
jars from the Byzantine period; and ceramic-pipe fragments from the Ottoman period.
