Abstract

The excavation in the neighborhood of Barne‘a B and C, Ashqelon, was conducted in two locations (Areas A and B). A series of small buildings was exposed in Area A and part of a cemetery, in Area B. The pottery assemblage from Area A is rather homogeneous, including many storage jars, as well as cooking and serving vessels. The glass vessels are dated mainly to the Byzantine period. The majority of the coins belong to the sixth century CE, including a small hoard of gold coins. The remains excavated at Barne‘a B–C seem to be part of the northern Byzantine (fifth–seventh centuries CE) settlement in Ashqelon, called Maiumas Ascalon (Ashqelon Maritime).
