Abstract
Two squares were excavated down to bedrock at Ḥorbat Kamon. The western square included three phases (I–III); the remains of a plastered miqweh were found in Phase III. The eastern square included two phases (I, II). In Phase II, part of a building, including a room and a courtyard, was uncovered. An installation that was unearthed in the building contained mainly cooking bowls and the lower millstone of an Olynthian mill. On the basis of the ceramic finds, Phase III was dated to the beginning of the second century CE, and Phase II, the major settlement, to the second half of the third–early fourth centuries CE. The site seems to have been a farmhouse, and the miqweh indicates that its owners were Jewish.
