Abstract
The cemetery of the late Mamluk- and early Ottoman-period village of Jindâs (now in the fields of Moshav Ginaton), about one kilometer northeast of Tel Lod, was partially excavated in 2014 on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority. The cemetery was dated to the mid-thirteenth–early sixteenth centuries CE based on numismatic and ceramic evidence. The interred were the inhabitants of the village of Jindâs, representing a rural agricultural community. This paper presents the results of the excavation conducted in the cemetery: the burial practices of the Muslim community and the demographic characteristics of the Mamluk village population.
