Abstract
During excavations within the Old City of ‘Akko, remains of a Crusader-period building (thirteenth century CE) destroyed by an intense fire were exposed. The burned layer contained charred wooden beams, samples of which were collected for botanical identification. The identified species attest that the wood was probably imported from Lebanon for roofing purposes.
