Abstract
A small amount of pottery from the Persian, Hellenistic and Roman periods was retrieved from mixed contexts in the Magen Avraham Compound. The pottery and oil lamp ascribed to the Early Roman period provide a glimpse into a period which is generally poorly represented at Yafo, perhaps attesting to a Jewish settlement in Yafo prior to the First Jewish Revolt. The pottery assemblage of the Mid- and Late Roman periods consisted almost exclusively of imported amphorae, reflecting Yafo’s engagement in Mediterranean trade.
