Abstract
A homogeneous group of ceramics was found, dating mostly to the sixth and seventh centuries CE. Imported wares comprise 80.5% of the assemblage, originating from Africa, Cyprus, North Syria and Antioch. The large percentage of imported wares points to the sizable volume of trade and economic prosperity of Byzantine-period Shiqmona. Among the finds were stone vessels, iron and bronze nails, a bronze handle, an iron ring and a bone button.
