Abstract
In December 2023, a salvage excavation was conducted at Nahal Zena‘, west of Nafha Prison (Permit No. A-9718/2023; map ref. 177436–955/515333–6039; Fig. 1), prior to the construction of a water reservoir. The excavation, undertaken on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority and funded by the Dead Sea Drainage Authority, was directed by D. Halpern, with the assistance of A. Montague (surveying and field photography), Y. Alamor (administration), D. Eisenberg-Degen (scientific guidance), G. Seriy, I. Radashkovsky, N. Lect Ben-Ami, Y. Samuel Cohen (Southern Negev District), I. Azoulay (plans), and workers from Ar‘ara. The excavation exposed four installations, a possible grave, and a field wall. Some of the installations were dated to the Late Ottoman period and the British Mandate.
