abstract:Excavations in Jaffa since the 1940s uncovered remains from the city's original inhabitation until the twentieth century. Investigation and analysis focused on the Middle Bronze II to the Byzantine periods. The later phases received far less attention. Ottoman and British Mandate layers were dug through with only basic documentation, if any, being considered irrelevant to archaeology. Yet, changing approaches proved the potential of the systematic study of architecture and artifacts from the recent past, despite and within related textual and illustrated information. Archaeological data provided new perspectives on Jaffa's fast transition from a small eastern Mediterranean backwater, economically dependent on farming and a deficient harbor, into a vibrant and cosmopolitan urban center. The tangible remains of the city's late nineteenth and early twentieth-century history attest to the unprecedented changes and ordeals the Holy Land as a whole experienced during that time.

B. Saidel, T. Erickson-Gini, Avi Mashiah
abstract:This is a report of an architectural survey of the "Mufti's House" in Motza/Qālūnyā, Israel. The data is primarily drawn from Saidel and Erickson-Gini's 2019 survey; some information is also drawn from Mashiah's fieldwork in 2010. Historical images demonstrate that this compound was standing by 1906 and that it remained in use throughout the Mandate period. This compound was built using traditional Palestinian construction methods such as those described by Tawfiq Canaan. There is no obvious evidence for architectural modifications to this complex during the Mandate period. Historical records indicate that members of the Husseini family, including the Mufti, occupied this building throughout the Late Ottoman and British Mandate periods. This structure is an example of a summer or country house that was built by an elite Jerusalemite family.

Yigal Israel, B. Saidel
abstract:Black and/or Gray Gaza Ware pottery is often found in archaeological contexts in the southern Levant and is broadly dated to the Ottoman and/or British Mandate periods. This ware was primarily made in Gaza, Khan Yunis, and Faluja. In 2002 Yigal Israel conducted an archaeological reconnaissance of Faluja and found archaeological evidence for the manufacture of this ware. He returned to this site in 2009 and excavated a kiln that was used to fire Black Gaza Ware pottery. This report describes his archaeological investigations at the former village Faluja.

abstract:This article discusses a section of the Israeli coastal plain known as Yavneh Sands between 1800 and 1948. This sand-dune strip, which legally belonged to the large village of Yubna/Yavneh and to the waqf of the major pilgrimage site of Nabi Rubin, was a peripheral territory, both economically and socially. The area was de facto controlled by wandering and sedentary Bedouin groups, who were accompanied by (seasonal?) peasant villagers, fishermen, and—in late summertime—numerous pilgrims from various coastal towns and villages who made their way to and from Nabi Rubin. These people usually left behind quantitatively and qualitatively modest material traces, which reinforce the assumption that the various Late Ottoman and Mandatory sites documented in the Yavneh Sands area were not permanent settlements but rather seasonal farmsteads and mainly temporary and even one-time campsites.

abstract:During the Arab Revolt in Mandate Palestine (1936–1939), the British army constructed numerous "picquets," small field fortifications, within or nearby Arab villages. The soldiers and police who operated from these forts were tasked with countering insurgent activities and pacifiying the adjacent area. The remains of these picquets, still scattered throughout the Galillee and Samaria, can offer insight regarding the revolt and the British campaign against it and help researchers to better understand this seminal period in the history of the Holy Land.

abstract:Archaeological excavations conducted north of Beersheba bring to light Late Ottoman- and British Mandate-period structures, cisterns, and terraces. The use of the land, existing ruins, and unique building style help identify two distinct populations that migrated to the region. The architecture and land use differ between the two populations, though the material finds, consisting primarily of Gaza Ware, are similar. The Negev Highland Bedouin are identified by ephemeral sites. When they construct structures, these maintain principles found within the Bedouin tent. In addition, the Negev Highland Bedouin often maintain existing cisterns while structures may make use of existing ruins. The second settlement plan is attributed to Arabs from the Southern Judean desert, who often hewed into the mountain sides.

abstract:Key to understanding a site and its environs, or maybe a region and its sites, is understanding its landscape and environment. In the case of the Hesi region to the east of Gaza, the region has been misunderstood by Western scholars since they first began investigating it in the midnineteenth century. For the Hesi region, the soldiers involved in the Great War were the last to see it largely untouched by modern technology and, at the same time, the first to record it in sufficient detail to preserve details of land usage. Records from this unique moment in time were crucial for the scholarly reconstruction of past landscape usage. This study identifies drilled wells and both kerosene- and gasoline-powered water pumps as the key technological introductions that transformed the region from being a traditional pasturage to the productive agrarian region seen today.
