Abstract
In March–April 1970, a salvage excavation was conducted near En-HaBesor (map ref. unknown), following preparations for the construction of a national park. The excavation, on behalf of the Department of Antiquities and Museums, was directed by D. Meiron and Y. Yehezkel. The excavation was carried out as part of the site reconstruction, including the Byzantine cistern in which a mosaic floor was discovered in 1917. The mosaic was transferred to Canberra, Australia (see Briggs 1918). The floor belonged to a church, of which no remains were preserved apart from one column base. The church was located on a Loess hill (c. 20 m above surface level) near En-HaBesor.
