| Sumario: | Abstract: Remains from the Late Roman, Byzantine, Crusader, Ayubic and Mamluk periods
were identified in archaeological excavations at the Gan Ha-Darom site. Two major
stages of settlement in the Byzantine and Middle Ages were exposed in the excavations.
Early remains were revealed indicating that a farmhouse or a monastery existed
in the 4th–6th centuries CE, which includes a mosaic-paved chapel decorated with geometric
designs and remains of at least four installations, probably winepresses. At the
time, the site also served as an agricultural hinterland and an industrial zone, evidenced
by an elaborate winepress that was exposed c. 120 m south of the farmhouse/
monastery. In one of its collecting vats was built as secondary stage potterykiln.
This article will discuss the industrial zone and the elaborate winepress. |
